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.

After 4 hours of swimming in 65F water Marilyn has covered 5 nautical miles or 6.1 regular miles. Her stroke is regular as usual around 60 per minute. Beautiful star filled night with calm water. She is nearly 1/3 across and had predicted that the swim would take 14 hours. She is on target to make that time. Shark shield is working but will need recharging soon.
