there are pictures of all the celebrities that have been there.
It's all of the celebrities from Hollywood that used to drive up to Santa Barbara and go to this hotel and hang out at this bar.
And among, you know, all of the familiar faces, the Humphrey Bogarts, et cetera, there is this really lovely photo of this woman kind of like in a bathing suit.
And I misread it.
And it says Florence Chadwick.
And I think that she's the first woman to swim across the English Channel.
I'm like, oh, that's pretty cool.
And then she came here and
because she swam to the Channel Islands, you know, the eight, 12 miles or whatever off the coast of Santa Barbara.
And so I put that in like a notebook and put it on my notes app that this will go on the list.
At some point, maybe I'll do something about the first woman who swims across the English Channel.
So at some point I look back to that and I'm like, oh, let's look into that English Channel lady.
And I realized that she's not the first woman to do it.
She's the second.
And then I'm like, there's no story in the second woman to swim across the English Channel.
And it sits there on my list for a really long time until eventually I realized what this story can be about for me.
what's interesting to me is that she swam to the channel islands you know off the coast of california like what's going on there and it turns out like she would kind of like show up in town and she'd you know like someone might pay her to like to come to promote the hotel like go swim to the channel islands and back and put you up and suddenly like this becomes a story that intrigues me because it's about like building a life around these passions that you have and
And suddenly the story of Florence Chadwick, the second woman to swim across the English Channel, becomes this story about this dedicated woman who has this dream and this goal.
And isn't it lovely that this dream that she achieves at 31 or something like that?
But then what it really comes about is her life after, which she spent swimming any channel that needed crossing.
