The Chronicle wrote an article today on Amy Appelhans Gubser's May 11 47.7 km, 17-hour swim from the Golden Gate Bridge to one of the Farallon Islands. She was the very first person to swim in the outbound direction (mainland to island).

The entry for her swim in the Marathon Swimmers Federation's LongSwims database is full of great details and plots and charts and observation logs. Even if you don't swim, it is exciting to read.
