This is a clip of my Santa Barbara channel crossing on 07/07/07.
The dolphin encounter happened at about 8:45 AM. There was a pod of about 200 or so Risso's dolphins that surrounded the boat, my kayaker David, and myself...the nut in the water. The crossing took me 10 hours and about 50 minutes -- but I finished and that was my goal. If you would like to know more about my swim or about open water/channel swimming you can ask away.
