Carbo-loading and socializing before heading out.

At the 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro awaiting the departure to Santa Catalina.

Debriefing, gearing up, greasing up, and swimming to the shore for the start.

Almost 14 hours in the water. In the Dark, at sunrise, and then through the sun and chop...

Brooklyn, Cambria, Maya, Ellie, Sam, Sophie and Maggie were running up and down the coast to meet us when we landed...

Coming into shore, completing the swim, and then receiving congrats from family on the beach while receiving first aid for the cuts.

Heading back to the dock and the reunion at the dock.
