 And the Peaks Island to Portland swim returns tomorrow. It's the first time since the pandemic that the fundraising event has been held. Erwin Gratz reports. The 2.4-mile swim will begin at 8.30 Saturday morning next to the Peaks Island Ferry Pier. It ends at East End Beach. The swim has a history that reaches back to the early 20th century. In recent years, hundreds have taken part, from elite swimmers to people up for a challenge.
