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!!!

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. ^__^

I think those people who choose to swim without wetsuits are nuts, but am slightly awe that they can do that.

And I really don't think there's sharks in the bay, at least not that I know of, but there is reportedly rumors that there a creature that in the bay, kinda like the Loch Ness Monster. ^_^

I had a friend that swam "naked" last time I did it. He jumped into the water and came up SWEARING A BLUE STREAK. It was hilarious! I would have laughed harder if I hadn't thought my face was going to freeze right off my head. ^__^

HAHAHA! That's great! Have the San Franciscans named it yet?

I don't think it's very well known yet, so I have no idea if it even has a name. I just remember that it was mentioned somewhere and thought that it was pretty awesome
