I plan to swim Lake Nipissing from the French R. (Campbells Bay) north-east to Marathon beach in North Bay, Ontario, July 14-19, 2022, 28kms. It has never been swum before. In 2020, I was foiled 3 km from shore by a freak gale with 3m waves and 65kph winds. I am fundraising for The Nipissing Trackers branch of the Nipissing Association for Disabled Youth, a volunteer-run skiing program for disabled youth.

My latest adventure
Tomorrow, I am flying to San Francisco to take part in the 5th annual 24 hour relay February 3-4. Each of us on the team will have to swim an hour 4 or 5 times in San Francisco Bay. You can see the piers of our clubhouses in the bottom right of the map (the bottom end of the "C" of the cove at the end of the beach). We will do laps within the circle created by the breakwalls. The current water temperature is 53 F or 12 deg C. The clubhouses have hot showers and saunas. This is training for my swims this summer.
