DON'T DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE.

:-D There, does that make you feel calmer?

I'm sure you'll do fine. Have a nice swim.

Oh, and I likes the nice rainbow.

Dude. It's WAY too late to feel calm. Do you know what they call this swim?

Ahem...

"The Sharkfest."

*falls over*

Oh, because it's been a few years since I've done it, and I like having something to strive for, and it's actually kind of fun, plus, there's the added bonus-bonus of being able to tell people I did it. ^__^

[identity profile] libby-drew.livejournal.com 2007-06-23 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...aren't there...um...sharks in the SF bay? *wibbles* Dont' do it!

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2007-06-23 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure there are, though I think the cold water and the tides have always been the bigger issues. But there will be hundreds of people swimming with us, and kayakers circling around to help us out, so I'm feelign alright about it. I did it once before, about four years ago, I think. It was fun, if FREEZING! O.o

[identity profile] luci0logy.livejournal.com 2007-06-23 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't know you were into swimming. Is that Alkatraz you're planning to swim from? Good Luck with your venture tomorrow.

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2007-06-23 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, Alcatraz prison. Only it's a preserve, so they will be dropping us in the water about 100 feet off the shore. We can't touch the island. *laughs* And then we swim back. ^_^

You are amazing! That sounds like fun, but would never do it because one, I don't have to stamina for it at all and two, it's COLD in the water, and three, it's COLD and I don't want to possibly die from hypothermia (which probably won't happen since I'll be moving, but still). Be sure watch out for floating debris in the bay. Good luck and have fun!!!

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the tip! I am, luckily, in a wetsuit for the swim, and a polar bear cap, so that will help with the temperature. I know people who swim it "naked," which means speedo only, sans wetsuit, but I don't think I have the guts or the mindset to try that. O.o I'm quite happy in my wetsuit, thank you very much. ^__^

Heh, it comes and goes. This is a period where I have been trying to get in better shape, yes. *laughs*

wow o.0 [*is impressed*] go you.

didn't realise you lived around that area.

i'm less concerned about the fishies than the coldness of swimming that far in that water. brrrrr.

best of luck to you.

pretteh rainbow

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's the cold and the currents that were the main factors preventing escape from that prison, or so I have been told. I've done it once before, a few years back, and while it is definitely cold, it is also definitely do-able, so I am getting excited about it.

And yeah, I saw that rainbow picture and thought, "woooow!" It really is a nice shot, isn't it?

Thank you for the well-wishes! ♥ I love your icon! Speaking of pretty pictures...

I will be at the end with lots of towels, dry clothes, and hot cocoa.

Wow, I totally didn't respond to your comment. O.o

*hides*

Thank you for the moral support! I had fun on the swim.
