Thank you so much, Beth, for being there on our Channel Crossing on October 11/12. It was great having you in that kayak nearby, steady all the way! I will always remember the sight of the full moon and the changing sky before dawn, even though the water was getting a little cool toward the end! We appreciate your guidance and care about our safety. All the best to you!

Beth was the kayaker for our relay on Octobe 11/12. She was great. Its a tremendous service that she provides with her willingness to share her expertise and time with swimmers. I've traveled to swims where I don't know anyone and it would have been great to have a kayaker as knowledgeable and welcoming as Beth to help. Thanks again.

There is so much to know about the kayaker's role. My swimmer wanted to sign up Beth, but the dates didn't work out. So I got psyched to translate my white water kayaking up here in northern CA into kayak support for my swimmer for the crossing. Still, I had a lingering feeling that there would be things I just couldn't know about the channel crossing and swimmer support without having done it. Beth stepped in as mentor, and yes, there was so much to learn. Not overwhelming, but many things potentially critical. So I learned: the kayaker isn't just a nice garnish; my life has meaning!! :~) Thank you, Beth, for such generous counsel. We'll be out there October 2-3, and we'll have you with us in spirit and much, much more. We are in your debt. I look forward to checking in post the swim and paddle. We are going forth with deserved confidence. Thanks, again. -- Joe

BETH! It was SO AWESOME to meet, and hang out with you while I visited California! Besides being THE BEST kayaker for Catalina swimmers, you put so much thought and effort into assisting plan for my swim. Without you, I NEVER would have been able to make it happen! Cheers to you, and your AMAZING gift in wanting to make open water swimming as safe as it should be! THANK YOU for being so kind...

Beth, Thank you for all your hospitality. It was so nice of you to show me my landing spot after our chance meeting in the marina before my swim so I had something to picture during the night. However, the kindest and most indispensible thing was you taking time to prepare my kayakers. Thank you for all the help!
