Cold water ends swim attempt Swimmer fought currents, cramps in cross-Strait effort BY JESSE MAJOR PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — The chill of cold water ended a San Francisco man’s attempt Thursday to become the eighth person to swim across the Strait of Juan de Fuca without a wetsuit. It was the first swim marathon swimmer Steve Walker, 48, was unable to complete, he said after docking in Port Angeles. He began the swim at
8:38 a.m. from Beechey Head, west of Victoria on Vancouver Island, and headed for an area around Crescent Bay west of Port Angeles. But, cramping with cold and miles off course, he called off the swim shortly after 1 p.m. Following in the spirit of marathon swimming, Walker attempted the swim with no more than a bathing suit, single swim cap, goggles and safety support boat.
“I was really bummed when I got out of the water,” he said. “I was thinking, ‘wow, 48, 49 degrees and I didn’t finish?’
Colder than expected It turned out the water was closer to 46 degrees. “When I found out the temperature and realized it’s not what I signed up for, it made me feel a lot better,” he said. Temperature was the first thing he thought about when he jumped into the water.
