Six members of the Mission Viejo Nadadores Swim Club and their supporters packed onto the 63-foot Bottom Scratcher, a chartered fishing boat, at 8 p.m. to head to Doctor's Cove on Santa Catalina Island. Just before midnight, they began their 26-mile relay swim to Rancho Palos Verdes in a fundraiser for CHOC Mission Viejo. They were done in about 7 hours.
