Scott Belland took these photos, he was one of the kayak support staff as well and I think he had 5 rescues too. These photos really capture how formidable the swim from Alcatraz to the mainland is. When you the swimmer are out there in the middle of the bay, you feel like you are the size of "pixel" since at one point in the race you are about 1/2-mile or more from any land mass.Here is a link to some fast JPGS of the race at Picasa: [Link]
