39. Catalina Channel Swimmer- Ali LaBonte Nautical Knowledge and Nonsense

    • History

In September 2022 Ali LaBonte swam the Catalina Channel in California.  This was a long-term dream and goal of hers.  In the interview she explains in detail how she was able to accomplish this.  I learned a lot about these types of endurance swims from her and her swim in particular.  I am very grateful that she sat down to chat with me, especially since we had only met the night before the interview! 
Intro/Ending Music: Many thanks to Riggy Rackin for allowing the use of music from his Nauticas album. The intro and ending themes are the sailor song "A Roving", specifically track 1.  Learn more or order his music at www.riggy.com
