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.

Sunset swim
I was thrilled to have sunset come up on my turn. I prepared my clear goggles and lights for night. After a few minutes of swimming as the sun was setting on the buoy line course, a group of our swimmers stopped me and asked if I wanted to swim out the cove's opening into the Bay. The view of the purple pink sunset behind the Golden Gate bridge was spectacular! A once in a lifetime experience.
