The main event - the swim crossing

It is less than 2 weeks away... (I don't know how that has happened, but it has!)  It is really getting exciting now!!

Here are details of the main event:
We plan to leave at 12AM in the very early morning of Friday August 12th (also thought of as the middle of the night on Thursday the 11th) from Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie.  The time may vary slightly, give or take, depending on the weather forcast and lake conditions, and if the 11/12th is a complete no go, the storm delay date is 1 week later on August 18/19th.  Due to the late hour of our start, we aren't holding a big send off.
This gives us an expected arrival time in Oakville at the east/north side of Coronation Park of late afternoon/evening on the 12th (or 18th).  There will be a live link on my website provided & sponsored by Accipiter Radar, which will let you track the crossing and be better able to determine my arrival time.  Upon arrival we will be having a short* celebratory gathering in the park and would love for you to welcome us in.  I will be thinking of your smiling faces drawing me into shore!
Thank you all for your support!  This has been a wonderful adventure.  I have learned a lot about myself, about the great support team I have in my life, and about our Great Lake Ontario!

* the crew and I will be very tired, so it will be short, but I encourage you to come and spend some extra time by the Lake!

If you are available to help clean-up after the crossing or to help transport crew to the start or home from the finish, please contact Fiona Lowden at fiona.lowden@cogeco.ca or myself at pryson3@cogeco.ca
