Swimming Alcatraz

6/23/2018

Well today I found myself caught "Between The Rock and a Hard Place" I made a 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco " Where when I touched ground I was promptly arrested by the SFPD. They want to keep the record to nobody ever escaped! As I expected the water was very cold, a two foot chop with 4 foot swells, strong currents and I swallowed a lot of water. I was pretty sick on shore from the water ingestion and vertigo inner ear from the cold water but nothing serious. But Hoo Lee Chit I made it. I am just so happy today I conquered that fear and had another chance after cancer to challenge myself like this.
I hope I can inspire you be all you can be---- even if you never had cancer.

My Journey

I am a fire captain and cancer survivor.
I have now cycled around the earth by bicycle for cancer charity, but my journey is not over. I followed the rules of Guinness global circumnavigation. Same bike, same direction, cross two antipodal points, the equator and cover at least 29,000 km. My final legs were crossing Australia north to south and east to west across the deserts bringing the total countries crossed to fifteen and a distance of 29,000 km over 10 years. The journey now continues to the most desolate and highest points of the earth. email:
