Thinking about a GG swim this summer with the 75th anniversary splash and dash race (full disclosure and a peek into my season race planning thought process: I enjoy a nice post-race Ghirardelli's sundae, the Saturday splash and dash date allows me a Sat. evening dessert and just makes me feel better than eating a sundae at 11 on a Sunday afternoon, as synchronous as that might be, by doing the similar but well run Alcatraz Challenge...)
I've done 3 crossings, all went fine. Anyone shed any insight into a GG crossing? I see it's about 1/2 mile longer, but is it the same sort of set up re tides and sighting? Swimming that much closer to the bay entrance (and the farallones) kinda freaks me out :)

I did the Bob Roper GG swim Aug 1 2009 (and then the Cruz Cruise on Aug 2).
Finished 2nd behind Matthew Davie. It was a small event... 'd highly recommend the GG to Bay Bridge swim as well.
I'd like to do the bridge to bridge some day
