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.

Getting ready for the swim tomorrow
Here is the SPOT tracker link

It isn't going to start transmitting until we turn it on at the beginning of the swim tomorrow sometime around 6 or 6:30 a.m.
The new software automatically does "live" picture which is only the current location, in other words, just one dot. If you want to see my whole course, you have to click on the 24 hour history view.
We are busy getting our equipment all ready and sorted for our 5 am drive to the marina.
It's a beautiful partly sunny morning here in North Bay but we have a 60% chance of thinder later this afternoon.
Tomorrow will start drizzly but calm. The rain should end by noon and the sun come out. It will be a bit windier but the wind will be exactly behind my back. Hopefully they will be nice surfing waves. Water temp is holding at 20deg C. Ait starts at 13, peaks at 22 and ends at 15 C.
