Wow,
here’s
a story about a guy who is swimming the distance between the California mainland and Catalina Island, an
amazing 26 mile haul. The swimmer is Peter Attia, a Baltimore doctor who, let’s face it, is either in amazing
shape or mad as a hatter.
I know some folks who have done this as a paddle on a kayak or paddleboard, but never a swim. And that makes sense
(that I’ve not heard of this) since only 120 people have ever made the crossing. There’s also a
well-done
video on the crossing.
