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.

Saturday 18 August 2018
Swim is on for 2 to 3 a.m. tonight
The wind is settling down. Waves will be less than a foot at 3 a.m. and maybe even less during the afternoon. Water is a bit cooler with the wind last night. In the range of 64 to 67 degrees F. Warmer than my English Channel swim.
