What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorCatherine Breed of Mill Valley has finished a nine hundred mile swim down the California coast, and she did it ahead of schedule.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorShe started at the Oregon border on July first and was expected in Mexican waters in November.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNine hundred miles. Did she stop for the night or just float until the sun came back?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, she made land every night off a fifty-two-foot sailboat, then went back to the exact spot where she left off. That's discipline.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's a dynasty. Ten miles a day, past the Golden Gate Bridge and around Point Conception.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo she clocked out every evening and clocked back in at the same place. Honestly the healthiest work schedule I've heard.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd here's my favorite part. A pacer tossed her protein shakes in a thermos while she was in the water. Lid on, hopefully.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSomebody on that boat had one job, and it was throwing a thermos accurately.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorMiss that throw and you've lost a champion's lunch to a whale. I'm telling you, that's the most pressure on the boat.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentStill ahead, a famous actor wants to know where his box has been.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTracking update: one thermos, delivered, allegedly, every time.
