Swimmers Escaped to
...Point Richmond Beach!

Five crazy adults (and 3 crazy kids) really escaped to Pt Richmond Beach during the Escape to Point Richmond 2nd Annual open water swim. The event began at the Jane Macready retreat, "The Loafsalot", on Vashon Island at about 5:15pm. Dozens of spectators awaited on the shoreline feasting on a potluck while they waited for swimmers to arrive.
