2019 Celebrate the Clean Harbor Swim #GloucesterMA is a two day festival this year!

From the race press: save the date — it’s a great, family friendly spectator sport event!
“CELEBRATE THE CLEAN HARBOR OPEN WATER SWIMMING FESTIVAL will be held August 17 and 18, 2019.
Starting off the festival will be the Clean Harbor Kids Swim on Saturday, a 500 meter swim along the shore of Niles Beach for 8-12 year olds. Held since 2015, this is a wonderful way to introduce kids to the sport of Open Water Swimming.
Also on Saturday will be the 1.2 Mile Celebrate the Clean Harbor Swim
NEW EVENT
For 2019, we are continuing a second day to the event, creating the festival. We will be holding the 10 mile Clean Harbor Relay event on Sunday, August 18th. This event will be held on a 1.0 mile course, very similar to Saturday’s event. We suggest teams of 5, and swimming through the rotation two times. Your team may have more or less than 5 swimmers. We believe the more the merrier. There will be a 6.5 hour limit. This will be a fun atmosphere, so bring a beach chair/blanket, snacks, some sunscreen and shade, and have a great time hanging out on the beach between your swims with your closest swimming friends. “

The Hawks Are Growing Up
As you might recall, we watched 3 baby hawks in a nest in our backyard here in Gloucester. They have since fledged and begun exploring their world as juveniles. I believe these are the hawks we see and hear nearly everyday out ver the marshy area behind our house. I have become quite attached to them as I watch them develop. They appear for me nearly every time I take my walk and I’ve begun to wonder if they are meant to be my “spirit animals”. So far, I have only verified 2 of the three together and I’ve started calling them Luke and Leia. I thought you might like to see how they have grown.


Both are seen here together
