rylevine Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 I would like to thank the NSPN safety kayakers; Rob, Cathy, Pru, Beth, and Jerry for insuring the safety of the swimmers during the Salem Swim and Fin. Afterwards I had quite a few of the swimmers come up and personally thank us. The proceeds of the meet go to Salem Sound Coastwatch, http://www.salemsound.org/Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
