Boog Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Posted July 15, 2016 Tomorrow is the day! I am ready for this swim. Monty Wolf of KOH radio in Carson City, NV has a couple of bits about my goals and quest. The first two in this sound bite are ones he is airing on the radio there:

planeflyer21 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 Boog brother! What's the after action report?
DNP Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 I'm gonna bet he sleeps in a little today.... Hope it went off better than planned! Looking forward to the report.
unforgiven Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 We are confident he will succeed in his endeavor.
Boog Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Posted July 17, 2016 10 hours, 15 minutes. I swam around 20 of the 17 miles. I say that because the tidal current coming in was around 3 mph while I was only swimming 2 mph. Then a significant storm caught us about a half mile from the end. Evidently, they say I can't swim during lightning. right about then, the boat lost an engine and the other engine got stuck hard to port, all they could do was turn a circle. The waves rose to two feet with around 40 MPH wind and the vessel began floundering around. The owner's wife fell into the table and it broke lose. The next big bump tossed her onto the post where the table was and cut her hand. My 19 year old son went to help her and was tossed around cutting his hand too. We banged around and hit a private pier but finally got her lashed down.

planeflyer21 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 Good job! Sorry to hear it was a bit rough and the crew got injured.

planeflyer21 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Awesome brother! That will be one heck of a long swim in 2018. That should give you plenty of time to get the word out!
