None of this was planned, right up until the end when everything had to be nailed down and double-checked.
The spontaneous realization of group goals occur naturally, planned or otherwise, and this is a group that tends to work outside the lines. For starters, they show up at Richardson Park on Sunday mornings to swim for an hour or so in the ocean, and it’s not like there’s a long line of traffic in front of them. They have it all to themselves at times, it seems.
And now, they have another memento of their long relationship with the ocean — they came together and swam as a group from Richardson to Honoli’i, just because they thought they could, and they were right.
