Is it really only a mile? There are coyotes on islands in Washington that would’ve swam further than that through some strong tidal currents.

Half a mile

    It's definitely a mile from the closest pier as the crow flies, a mile and a quarter from land.

    Depending on the current, actual swim distance will be closer to 1.4-2 miles since it'll drag you out of a straight line.
