Alcatraz Crossing July 4, 2010

7:15am jump from the east side of the island. Pedro's Happy Fourth of July swim. I don't know how many people there were.. maybe 25? Maybe more. I missed all of the pre-swim briefings because I came too late to find a legal place to park. I ended up parking at the Ghiradelli Garage.. kind of pricey, but I didn't get a ticket.

So, we all piled into the Dauntless, headed out to Alcatraz.. jumped in and swam towards the Jeremiah O'Brien.. the Tide was ebbing pretty darned well by the time we got across. Less thatn 24 minutes to the Break water, then a nice ride into Aquatic Park. a little hang time at the entrance treading water, then we all swam towards the beach. 32 minutes all together... very fun, very fast Fourth of July swim!
