“We saw a few whales, a few hammerhead sharks,” said Blair Cannon with his daughter at the finish of the Night Train Swimmers’ 228-mile, 100-hour 28-minute traverse down the California coast.

“One of our swimmers bumped into a few sleeping dolphins. There were seals, one followed me while swimming along the Catalina Island coast, and lots and lots of kelp.

It feels great to finish.”
