It has been confirmed that we are on for Friday. All of my hard work is behind me and I am very excited about getting in the water and going for it. I have had a lot of ups and downs in the past few weeks but feel very confident that I have done everything possible to prepare for this epic swim. There are so many emotions that I am feeling at this point that I am unable to express them properly.
Thank you to everyone that has shown me so much love and support. The energy coming my way is unbelievable.

Dream it! Swim it!

After another postponement of my sea buoy swim, tomorrow will be my final attempt. On Sunday, 6/13, come rain or shine, wind or waves, we will be going out for my final training swim. We need to get this done! Once again the weather will not completely be cooperating with us but we are going to go for it anyway. The water temperature is dropping and as soon as the wind starts to subside the fog will start to set in. Wind and fog will be two of the challenges in planning and completing a swim from the Farallones.

I find myself staring at the Farallones cam for hours lately. Check it out

After 7 am tomorrow you will be able to track me live via my SPOT GPS. If I have enough crew members on board tomorrow, we will be working on sending out updates on my website, FB page and Twitter.

This Friday, June 11th, I will complete my training for the season with a swim from the sea buoy (12.65 miles west of the Golden Gate) to Aquatic Park in San Francisco. As of now it doesn’t look like the conditions will be completely in my favor but that is okay. I could use one more time of being knocked around in the ocean to remind myself what I am about to get myself into for my Farallones swim.  After Friday I will be able to say that I have done everything possible to prepare myself for the big day. The remainder of my training will be all mental preparation and visualization.

Check back in after 6 a.m. on Friday to track me live.  I have obtained a new Spot GPS to replace the malfunctioning unit that I have been struggling with for the past few training swims. It will work this time!
