It's a 1.5mi swim.

I remember visiting Angel Island (a 0.5mi swim) and seeing the abundance of raccoons they have, and asked a ranger how they got there. They also swam.

Growing up on a lake I would regularly watch deer swim the quarter mile back and forth between the shore and a nearby island, with no problem.

At a minimum! We don’t know where the coyote started from.

		For all we know the Coyote could have been from Oakland or Sausalito.

made me wonder if that's why the adjacent strait is called racoon strait, but apparently not (HMS Racoon)
