Judging by Evan's exclusive photo, Craig may be having too much fun out there. Anyway, he couldn't have asked for a better support team to keep him on-course and motivated!
Hook & Boom is gonna break the 47 year old cold spell! Best have some fireworks lined up under the GGB and have him push for that light ship @evmo! He's home free once he hits that mama in conjuncture with the timing of the flood!
Ah...the beard. He told me last week he had to cut part of the moustache because it was directing water into his mouth and choking him when he was swimming and breathing. #manproblems
I think Craig is smiling...because of the warm water... showing 59f on the weather buoy 46237...almost too warm for him!!! looks like it was a good day to swim it!!!
Craig is in good spirits, with hardly a slurred word. SR a steady 54. This next hour is critical. Less than 12 statute left. Send him your energy and love, people!
He could go into Stinson/Bolinas or ride the predominant north to south current around Pt Bonita where the flood can take him in...not sure or the tide situation
This swim is better than the NCAA women's basketball game, and I'm pretty excited about the game. History being made in both sports tonight. Go Craig! Go Huskies!
Also going along the special conformities of the federation, is he wearing a standard silicone/latex cap or is he going by the "allowed" article of neoprene which the pioneers supposedly did not don?
@AnthonyMcCarley, it's working fine for me. It looks like Craig has about 1-1.5 miles left before landfall and the end of one awesomely historical swim! Go Craig!

Believe the swells and wind are moving from west to east. I could be wrong, but pretty sure
very jealous of you.

Though he does look a bit north-ish.
ps...I sure wish there was a scale on the map (Evan do you know if there is a way to tweak the Spot Tracker for that?)
Craig still has a substantial swim ahead of him to reach Muir Beach, please keep sending warm thoughts. He's been in this water 13 hrs now.
...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
JC, he is wearing a single silicone cap.
Lack of Flood was due to not reaching it in time.
Craig will be the third swimmer in history to reach the mainland from the Farallons, after Stewart Evans and Ted Erikson, nearly 50 years ago.
