Killer Quad #2

Good luck to Ariel for swimming 5k on Thanksgiving Day. The solo lane6babe to be attempting both Killer Quad #1 and #2 this year; way to go, Ariel!

Epic Row

Two British men finished the first ever human powered row across Pacific Ocean from Japan to US this morning. Check out details of their amazing adventure at their website.

It is a shame that there were so few boats to welcome them to our city. Noticeably absent was the fireboat with spraying water which is usually buzzing around for much smaller accomplishments like mass wetsuited Alcatraz swims.

Great White Sharks

Interesting findings from latest great white shark study.

Killer Quad #1

Congratulations to the sole lane6babe Ariel for participating in Killer Quad part 1 this year! She finished the hour swim on saturday in great shape. Way to go, Ariel!

november full moon swim

Weather Gods blessed us with perfect conditions for november full moon swim. Flat water, zero wind, no chop. The ladies did not need any more motivation to go in their birthday suits. 8 sea lions decided it was playtime when we were in water. Almost everyone got bumped or chased around.

Censored pictures will be posted soon.

high wind advisory full moon swim

This month's full moon swim was wild. Crazy winds and chop cut down participant list to a handful. Only 10 brave souls showed up to swim. We decorated ourselves with glow bands: as bracelets, necklaces, ornaments at the back of swimsuits, feathers poking out from under swimcaps, etc, and jumped in through the waves. Water temperature was around 62 degrees.

Thanks to Loretta, Eileen, and Lolly for setting up food while we were out frolicking in the water. Warm food, wine, and good company made the post-swim chowdown a pleasant affair.
