What's it like to swim from Alcatraz??

[ChrisM]

Way to go Chris. I have been in the bay water and it can get rather cool. smile... Have you set you goals for next years swim yet?

I was only 2:00 off third place, and 3:00 off first. I think I can improve, I'd like to place in my AG, that would be awesome. I am also considering doing it without a wetsuit.

You've given up diving for swimming?

Bill, my wife and I went back out to Alcatraz for the tour later that day, and I thought a couple of the inmate photos looked familiar... No, haven't given up diving for swimming, but it sure feels like it....

Galapagos, are you going with Eco Dive Center or Hollywood Divers? Are you afraid that you might be left at sea and have to swim home?

Neither, going on the Aggressor for a private charter. I just want to be able to stay down longer with the whale sharks

PS - next year's swim is September 16, 2006... mark your calendars!
