Stay tuned for more news from Rick over the course of the summer!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&#8220;Before I start, I need to thank several people show have made a real difference is helping\u00a0organize a swim from Canada to Hartford, CT.<\/p>\n<p>This can only begin with the terrific people from the NorthWoods Center in VT. Susan, Ross,\u00a0Kelsey-the blog lady, the cartographer-river map guy, and others who have been supportive\u00a0and informative AND, not one has said I am nuts or crazy \u2013 yet! They are a special part of VT\u2019s\u00a0Northeast Kingdom (should be a state or even a country of their own).<\/p>\n<p>Also, there is a special company that I found online (Just Wet Suits). One of the owners\u00a0(Kristen) has been amazing to receive advice from and to guide me in a direction for wet\u00a0suits, glove, skull protective caps and so on. Once in awhile you find someone that really\u00a0understands what Triathletes, Iron People, and recreational folks like me, need. By the way, they are based in the middle of a desert (Chandler, AZ). Go figure.<\/p>\n<p>Now for the beginning. I had made what can best be described as a false start. My intention\u00a0had been to swim the 3 CT River Lakes at the headwaters of the CT River. My wet suit was\u00a0more than fine, but I did not listen to advice on wearing gloves and a full head protective cap\u00a0so as I was entering the water I realized the temperature was not what I had thought (55+)\u00a0and instead was colder \u2013 as was the air (65 that day with wind). I need to wear fins as I have\u00a0no feeling in either leg below the knees. By the time I put my fins on in the water, my hands\u00a0and ankles had turned blue. I started to swim a short distance and lost feeling my hands-so I\u00a0got out. Something about living to fight another day! I loves and full cap arriving later this\u00a0week.<\/p>\n<p>However, I decided to start from the end of the river closest to where I am. The entry point\u00a0was South Windsor, CT and exit at East Hartford, CT \u2013 just about 6 miles. The exit point is\u00a0where I started my swim last year for 50 miles over a few days to Old Saybrook, CT. So I\u00a0decided to eventually swim all the swimmable portions of the river which is 410 miles-including the lakes and some long stretches that do not have enough water to swim OR are\u00a0true rapids and cannot be safely swum (is that word?) Of the 410 miles, I would estimate\u00a0that 360 or so are good for swimming of which I did 50 last year and now 6 as of today.<\/p>\n<p>Enough boring stuff.\u00a0Today is only a start \u2013 water was just below 55 degrees and air about 65 with wind and rain \u2013 basically it sucked! The river map had this stretch at between 3 &amp; 4 miles and it turned out to\u00a0be 6 (using a Garmin GPS time &amp; distance watch). Now the hard part-from Windsor, CT to\u00a0Old Saybrook, CT the CT River is tidal. It empties into Long Island Sound and has about a 6\u00a0foot rise and fall two times daily depending on weather and the moon. My swim today was\u00a0at the end of drain tide or ebb tide. At that point current almost stands still for a short while\u00a0and here comes the incoming tide. I tried like hell to beat the incoming part. The last mile or\u00a02 was real work. Once I get above Windsor, there will be little to no tidal influence so\u00a0swimming with the current will be consistent \u2013 except the still water of the lakes.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to tell you that I saw all kinds of wildlife, but I didn\u2019t. Some birds and some fish\u00a0jumped and then the Hartford City skyline \u2013 compares well to any intermediate city. Mostly,\u00a0boring.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-full wp-image-5055\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27216%27%20height%3D%27126%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20216%20126%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27216%27%20height%3D%27126%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_01612.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_01612\" width=\"216\" height=\"126\" \/>How I handle boring \u2014 meet WILSON! Wilson is my tow along dry bag with Wilson 2 written\u00a0on it (from the Tom Hanks movie with a volleyball). Once bored, Wilson is my constant\u00a0companion and listens well so I told him part of my life story. He seems content to just zone\u00a0out and float along.<\/p>\n<p>So this is it for day 1. I do not swim with anyone or have anyone in a chase\u00a0boat \u2013 just me and Mother Nature. Quiet, peaceful in fact, and I get to be away from\u00a0technology and other people for some time. I do carry a cell phone in my dry bag as well as\u00a0bottles of water and water shoes if I need to get out and hike some. I am blessed with being\u00a0totally comfortable in open water and grew up being able to take care of myself in nature. I\u00a0would not suggest anyone do what I am doing, however, if you have a passion or a vision to\u00a0do something as a life challenge \u2013 don\u2019t wait \u2013 do it!! Age is not a factor unless you allow it to\u00a0be.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy your week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rick Wright<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Periodically throughout the summer we will be featuring accounts from long distance swimmer, Rick Wright.
