Tobey Anne Saracino's Triple Crown (Catalina Crossing)

On July 25th, Gracie and Neil were privileged enough to support Tobey Anne in her endeavor to cross the Catalina Channel for her triple crown in open water swimming (English Channel, Manhattan, and Catalina). She completed the swim in just under 10 hours and finished strong enough to swim a 100 yards back to the support boat with rocks in her swim suit!

Gracie was Tobey's assistant observer for CCSF and Neil her support paddler for most of he 21 miles.

Congrats Tobey Ann!

Fun outing with Mallory Mead
