I got a call from Pete at 9:30 am – They had just caught upto Rob – who instead of swimming was flying.
(he was swimming at 5knots speed – I know that’s pretty fast and also Smart to take advantage of the tide.)
Pete and Alex were on 35 foot boat. Rob is feeding well and in good spirits.
Also – we found out that you can track Rob on the NYC swim website:

Rob has been 3 hours into his swim and currently about 5 miles away from Washington Bridge.
