San Diego sharkfest

just got this email from the Alcatraz sharkfest people, swim from Coronado Island to downtown SD... www.envirosports.com/.../event.php I dunno though, $80 for a 1K swim is pretty steep. Anyone know what the water quality in SD Harbor is? Dunno about water quality, but I am thinking about looking into meet fees for "causes." $300 for Swim Across America (*** cancer). $150 per person for Against the Tide, Hopkinton, Mass., and Cape Cod (*** cancer again). If the event represents the ONLY opportunity for a community to use a community resource and if the meet fee (hit-up-your-friends-for-donations fee) is so high as to exclude the common man/woman, something is amiss.
