Envirosports puts on a great open water race each year called the Alcatraz Sharkfest Swim. They offer both a wetsuit division for the sane swimmers and a non-wetsuit division for those who have stopped taking their anti-psychotic meds.
On, June 10th 2007, Sharkfest swimmers will be ferried to the Alcatraz Island whereas all entrants will do a six-foot leap out of the ferry and into the San Francisco Bay. Then the Sharfest entrants will swim to an ad hoc starting-line made up of kyakers and when you hear the sound of a loud foghorn; make a mad swim to Aquatic Park 1.5 miles away. Fun, huh?
