	When this sequence is submitted, the following Mma program can be added as it generates the terms of the sequence:

Select[Partition[Select[Prime[Range[20000]],PrimeQ[2#+1]&],3,1],Mean[#]==#[[2]]&][[All,2]]

	Best,

I think this is an interesting sequence because it yields (the second of) any subsequence of at least 3 terms (consecutive SG primes) in arithmetic progression, and so it may also serve to find longer subsequences of AP's within SG primes (namely when the distance to the next term is equal to the gap for the given triple, as is the case for 3329, 3359 which are at distance of 30, equal to "their" gap).
(Remarkably enough, {3329,3359} are also both the lesser of a twin prime pair and also have prime(p)+2 prime and appear as consecutive terms in a few other sequences <https://oeis.org/search?q=3329%2C+3359> !)
