Good Luck Evan. The water in ventura was wonderful this morning. Some swell, no chop and warm.

Looks like he's there, the boat is veering pretty near the shore.

Good job, Evan.

Way to go, evmo!

Thanks, everyone, for the support. I don't where SCOOS gets its information, but the conditions were far from awesome! Toughest swim of my life.

The people want a lengthy, detailed report!
[after you've rested up, of course.]

Toughest swim in your life? If it had been me in the water, it would have quickly turned into a long boat ride back to the harbor for me.

I can second @evmo's post... the conditions were less than good, the ocean tricked us with good forecasts and then decided to beat the shit out of the boat and the swimmer for about 10 hours... a couple days later I'm still sore and all I did was puke off the boat and yell into the ocean. Evan did a fantastic job swimming through a frustrating stretch of water, I'm proud of the effort put up by him and Mark and Cathy in the kayak throughout the swim.

We were swimming near the Ventura shore on that day and it was miserable for us. I remember thinking there is no way Evan was going to pull off the kind of time he was hoping for. Someday I will remember that thinking is not my strong suit. Very impressive! Fantastic Job!
