Capitola Pier to Santa Cruz

I started this swim on the 4th of August 2007 and this would be the first of 3 swims in 3 consecutive weekends in the USA and Ireland. This swim is 10kms long and is every 2 years is an actual swim event, but the year I did it was the non swim year . Therefore I organised the event myself. My aim with this swim was start early in the morning, But we were held up by fog. My paddler and I had to wait for a couple of hours before my paddler said that it was safe to go in the water. We started the swim eventually and the 10kms swim went well after the fog had lifted and there was little wind and eventually I could hear the amusement park that is at the end of the swim at Santa Cruz and I arrived at the beach near the amusement park and I was met by one of the organisers of the usual swim event.
