Monday Cuppa--Change Your Latitude
Happy Monday, friends!
I hope you've enjoyed your morning cuppa. I'm already a few in as it's deadline week for me, so it's my last run through before I send the rough draft of book 3 in my Chesapeake Valor series off to my publisher. Deadline week involves a lot of coffee, chocolate and perseverance. Speaking of perseverance, I can't imagine participating in the following open water swimming race, but I'd sure love to watch it.
Change Your Latitude 57° N is an open water swimming race in Alaska where the McKennas live, and it is one of the northernmost open ocean races in the world.
It is a combined 10k (6.2 miles)/6K (4.1 miles)/3k (2 miles)/1k open water swim in the beautiful Sitka Sound with water temperatures in the mid-50’s. Brrr.
The swim begins at the U.S. Coast Guard gazebo on Japonski Island, and then the swimmers head north out of Sitka Channel, across Whiting Harbor with a turn buoy to bring swimmers around Battery Island.
I could easily see Libby McKenna participating in this race, how about you?
I hope you all have a blessed week. Be sure to drop by this week's Writerly Wednesday for an another awesome guest post and giveaway!
Blessings,
