Woman trying to go from Farallones to bay
As
a fourth-grader, Karen Rogers had a dream - to swim more than 30 miles across frigid, shark-infested waters, from the Farallon Islands to San Francisco Bay.
More than three decades later, she's about to get her chance.
Rogers, 43, plans to start from the rocky shores of the Farallones at 2 a.m. Friday, weather permitting. It should take her 14 to 16 hours, and if she does it - and no one has since 1967 - she'll become the third person known to have accomplished the swim.
