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.

Marilyn started from Pedro Point Santa Cruz Island at 11:37 pm. Water is chilly 64F and the seals were calling arf arf as we set off. Crossing to the start took longer due to large waves and rough water. We are on a beautiful 38ft sailboat with Captain Dawn Brooks who has been wonderfully accommodating and understands marathon swimming.
