ALCATRAZ SHARKFEST SWIM
4 star rating
1.5-mile swim from Alcatraz Island to Aquatic Park
Not for the faint of heart, but fantastic for smack talking.
Awed Friend: "Aren't you scared of sharks?"
ME- Chest puffed out: "Nah, although there was a sea lion attacking swimmers at Aquatic Park and they had to close the beach for a while. It's OK now"
Awed Friend: "Isn't it too cold to swim in the bay?"
ME- Chest puffed out: "Nah, I have a wetsuit so it's super warm..."
Awed Friend: "Have you tried swimming without a built in heater??"
ME- Chest puffed out: "Yah, I keep forgetting my wetsuit at home so I have to swim without it. That's why my chest is puffed out, so I don't sink."
