Watched the show last week on the three guys that escaped in 1962 and thought to be dead . The nephew of the two brothers had photos of them in Brazil from 1975 .

Would be a cool place to visit... I always thought they made it ... with all that planning... would think they would have some outside help like a boat out waiting...
amazing escape.. from the prison anyway.. guess we'll never know if they made it for sure.

There are people that make the "Alcatraz swim" every year. I met an older guy that said that the swim wasn't as bad as they make it sound. Called the Alcatraz Triathlon, Folks swim from Alcatraz for 1.5 miles, Then run 1/2 mile and bike for 18 miles.

I am planning on doing the Alcatraz Sharkfest Swim in August 2017.  It is only 1.5 miles but the water can be cold.  I survived a 1.5 mile swim in 54 the degree waters of Lake Huron at the beginning of my Half Iron Triathlon this past September so I think I should be able to handle it.  Actually looking forward to it!
