Erik’s Alcatraz Swim

Today was Erik's big swim. We got picked up by our friends, Ian & Catherine, at 6:15 am. We dropped Erik and Catherine off at the ferry and they left on the boat at 7am.

Here’s Erik getting his wet suit on before getting on the ferry

It was a beautiful day for a swim. Sunny, breezy, and the water seemed calm!

They got on the ferry and were brought out to Alcatraz. They had to jump off and swim to shore – 1.5 miles!





Done! 54-ish minutes







Erik’s medal!
He said he had a lot of fun doing the swim & definitely wants to do it again!
After the swim and a shower, we went to Axis Café for brunch. Great morning and so proud of Erik!!
