Update on Swim Around the City Attempt

Let's call it Candlestick to Diablo Point. I made it to about 1 mile past the Golden Gate when huge swells cresting from three directions left me feeling like I was up against several walls of water. I asked to be pulled. The only thing we didn't have a contingency plan for happened. I wanted to get out.

Right now I feel great about how much I did do and lucky that we had this experience before we get to the Channel. Details and photos to follow.

Thank you for all of your support.

Jessica!

Congratulations! What a wonderful article in the Chronicle! What an incredible effort. I saw your Mom last week, but had no idea you were doing this. We'll be rooting for you on July 7th!
