After the first hour of literally swimming in place, Jim Neitz succeeded against strong currents in the Anacapa Channel. He swam from the west end of Anacapa Island to Ventura, near the harbor entrance in a time of 10 hours 23 minutes and 32 seconds.
Jim's official observer was Lynn Kubasek. Tom Ball was his steadfast support as kayaker, and his dad Jack Neitz was his ever-ready feeder. Bob Andrieux, Three-ring Mike and the Tuna Thumper provided the escort. Captain Bob has an amazing streak of his own going as he has NEVER had a swimmer enter the water and not complete a swim.
