I've marked my calendar: 16 September 2006.

I've registered for the Alcatraz SharkFest, a 1.5-mile open water swim from The Rock to Aquatic Park.

There are only a variety of basking sharks in the waters of the Bay, love. You might get gummed to death, but that's pretty much the only threat out there.

Oh, and the FUCKING FREEZING WATER. But clearly, you're ready. I'll be in a canoe, paddling alongside you, sipping a frosty drink. Cheering you on, of course.

Thanks for the info on the sharks; that's reassuring, actually. As for the cold water, I will be wearing a wetsuit. I'll be cold when I get out, but not hypothermic.
