Night Train Swimmers Do It In 100 Hours
The Night Train Swimmers came in at 7:29 pm on Monday night under a setting sun in San Diego Harbor, 228 miles from their start up the coast of California.The team – weary but smiling, exhausted but proud, sore but exhilarated – came ashore together after swimming 17 separate one-hour legs during their 100-hour 29-minute journey.
“It was a great trip,” said Patrick Horn. “It was a lot of fun. We put a lot of stress on the boat. This is a great group of people.“
