Report Time: 8 pm Friday August 5th
Location: South Tip of Sullivan Island, Lynn Canal
See Google Map Sullivan Island is the large island in the center of the map.
Steve Vick swam another 4.7 miles this afternoon to bring his daily total for Friday to 10.1 miles. The water averaged about 56.5 degrees during this afternoon's swim. Steve's remarkable progress today was in spite of a steady 4-7 ft south swell all day today!
The team would like to express its thanks to the M/V Fairweather-- one of the Alaska Marine Highway ferries that regularly carries passengers and cars along the route of the swim and the the proposed road-- for diverting its course today to avoid effecting the progress of Steve and the support crew aboard the boats and kayaks.
Steve has received lots of encouraging letters in the local press and folks are very appreciative of the effort he is making on behalf the the residents whose virtually unanimous opinions against the road have been largely ignored by the State of Alaska.
