The Roy Webster Cross-Channel Swim was cancelled Monday morning by the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office due to high winds, which created unsafe water conditions for both the swimmers and the watercrafts that form the safety corridor.  This was the second year in a row that the 75th version of the swim had to be cancelled.  Last year, Hood River emergency support services were diverted to the Eagle Creek Fire, which caused the event to be cancelled.  Hood River County Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Mike Glover said calling off the swim was the last thing anyone wanted to do, but added safety is of paramount importance.  Glover says they look forward to holding the 75^th swim next year.  It was only the fourth cancellation in the swim’s history.  Each year, the event attracts 500 participants.
