Chris & I only arrived in Hawaii yesterday afternoon after a very long journey from Queensland, Australia on arrival we spoke briefly to our pilot by phone which led to a meeting this morning.
My pilot believes the weather is looking OK for me to swim tomorrow starting at 3am.
Chris and i have to fly from Maui to the Hawaiian Big Island this afternoon while our pilot and paddler make the ten hour journey by boat. We will meet up with them when they arrive on the Big Island at 7pm. Then rest on the boat untill 1.30 am when we will motor to my starting point at Upolo Point, the northern tip of Hawaii, ready for a 3am jump. (Hawaii time, thats midnight on Tue going into Wed in Queensland and 9 am New York time for our American friends).
We had a short swim yesterday afternoon and another this morning, the sea is beautifully clear, fairly salty and cooler than at home in Townsville but not cold. It is Humpback Whale season here so we’re hoping to see some during our stay.
I have added the Hawaii swims website on the links page for those interested.
Talk to you on the other side (hopefully), happy swimming to all – Penny
