Alcatraz swim by 9 yo boy

Kevin: It is not a big deal to me...one way or another....all I know is that a surfer was eaten off his board right around the point from the throat of the Gate a few months before I swam the Golden Gate Bridge Swim in 1997. ...and he was never found.... I grew up in S. Florida diving on the reefs in the Keys and Bahamas and never had any real exciting times with the sharks. Yea, I saw them....and from time to time we'd see BIG Bull Sharks and Tiger Sharks...but they always kept away from us. The fact still remains that right outside the Gate very large Great White Sharks live....and for me....that means...be careful and pay attention....for it is a short swim for them to come threw the Golden Gate Straight into San Francisco Bay.... Dave Horning with Envorosports Ltd. told me he has NEVER had anyone tell him they have seen Great White Sharks in the San Francisco Bay....and I was profoundly happy to hear that....Having said that, I always wondered if I'd be the first one to see one.....especially when I was swimming 300 yard from the chase kayaks in the middle of the Golden Gate Straight. Lastly, from what I hear...and read...when you see California Seals....you usually see Great White Sharks....and I have seen many California Seals in San Francisco Bay. I am NOT saying they are there...and never have.....What I am saying is.....They sure as heck could be there.....
