Next Summer I will be swimming from the Farallon Islands to Aquatic Park in San Francisco, a distance of 30+ miles. A feat that has never been accomplished by a female and "I am just the girl for the job"

Waiting in the magical water of Lake Tahoe
July 20th, 2010 | 
Author: I am just waiting….waiting for my opportunity to swim the Farallones. To keep in good practice I have been swimming in my backyard. Lake Tahoe is not a bad place to be waiting.
Here is a video from my swim with Jamie Patrick and Greg Larson. The course was Camp Richardson to the island in the middle of Emerald Bay and back to Camp Richardson. Water temperature a surprising 68 degrees. We accomplished 11 miles in 4:30. An amazingly beautiful swim!

Looking Forward
Gale force winds are forecast for the remainder of my window. We have rested up from our long night on the boat and have chosen new tides and new dates. We still need to confirm the team. I will need to continue to raise funds or look for additional sponsors to help with the cost of the the boat and safety crew. Once everything has been confirmed I will release the new window of time. Stay tuned…this swim still need to be conquered. I am patiently waiting for my opportunity to show the Farallones what I got!
The Wild Farallones
The conditions were so rough that we didn’t even make it all the way out to the Farallones. I never put my suit on or had the chance to get in the water. The emotions are just starting to set in right now. I am going to sleep it off and go back to the drawing board. Thank you for all of the positive energy coming my way. This swim still need to be conquered!
Swim cancelled due to rough seas!
Safety first! Karen just let me know that they are headed back in. The safety of the crew comes first! We will keep you posted as to the next attempt, but that’s it for now.
I will be boarding the boat in a 1/2 hour
Adjustment to my jump time
There has been an adjustment to my jump time for tomorrow. I will be entering the water closer to 3 am. Thank you to everyone for all of the well wishes, love and support. You can track me live after 3 am.
