On the weekend marking the 10th Anniversary of September 11th, a band of brave swimmer scouts and their crews set out to cross the length of Lake Mempremagog between Newport, Vermont and Magog, Quebec. Their mission is threefold:

• To promote a more open border with our Canadian friends and neighbors even as we support efforts to deal with terrorist activities

• To raise funds for the continuing operations of IROC (the Indoor Recreation Center Orleans County), which provides health & wellness services for people at risk such as those suffering from diabetes, heart disease and cancer

• And, of course, this merry band set out in search of Memphré, the famed creature of Lake Memphremagog

IN SEARCH OF MEMPHRE

Memphre Sighting at the Dudley Chateau...

This just in...
Photographic evidence of a run-in between Memphre and swimmer scouts O'Connor and Howley last Thursday night at the Dudley Chateau in Wayland, MA! We hear the lake creature likes
Shipyard Pumpkinhead ale (with the cinnamon and sugar on the rim of the glass) the best. Not sure how Memphre managed to teleport herself to Dudley Pond all the way down in Wayland, but there was a quick sighting and a photo made with the scouts and their replica of the sighting. We raised a bunch of money at that fun-draiser and had a whale-- or is that serpent??-- of a good time making merry with fellow swimmer scout Dutton and our cast of helpful athletic supporters. Ha.

Early weather reports for Friday night/Saturday morning look pretty good. It will be a chilly night on the water and there is the possibilty of a light headwind, but we are hoping that the north wind does not thwart our attempt or alter our course. A final decision about start time and location will be made tomorrow at 7pm.

She's out there waiting for us. Perhaps a case of beer on the support boats will help us in our quest to spot Memphre...
