“Survive the Savage Sea”

Sort of related: the History Channel has a 2-hour documentary about the three guys who escaped from Alcatraz back in 1963(?). I’m hard to convince, but it convinced me that the two brothers at least made it out and were still alive in the 1970s living in South America.

This is practice for when he ends up in prison.

This will not end well.

I am all for swimming to Alcatraz and back. But the fact that this is a “record” will encourage other people to break it. Why should anybody care that a child swam to Alcatraz, other than the child himself and the parents?

And people swear those guys who escaped from Alcatraz in homemade rubber rafts couldn’t have made it to shore.

If a 9 year old kid can swim to Alcatraz, those 3 “missing” prisoners from the early 1960’s no doubt made it to shore and completed their escape successfully.
