Land Ahoy!

Coming through the Manitou Islands and what a sight ahead, the magnificent spire of the Pro-Cathedral Assumption Church! Marilyn is asking "When is it going to get better?" She is swimming consistent 60 strokes per minute but must be struggling with migraine and or aching muscles!

Twenty - again!

Twenty km done and 7 km to go! Please support NADY through Canada Helps so that disabled youth can enjoy and learn to ski! All done by wonderful volunteers but they need expensive equipment to stabilize youth with disabilities. We are so fortunate and take many things forgranted that these youth only dream of doing, please donate!

Manitou Islands

Arriving at this gorgeous cirque of peaks thought to be an ancient volcano that is submerged. On Marilyn's prior attempt it was the proverbial calm before the early evening storm. We estimate arrival by 5pm before evening storms. Forecast is clear!

Migraine

Two migraine pills later she has picked up her pace so Marilyn must be feeling better. She has come over 14km in 6 hours. Let's hope the migraine medication continues to be effective.

Updated Distance

Marilyn is at 10km that is just over 1/3 of 27km total distance after 5 hours of swimming. Bit slower than expected probably due to nausea.

Distance

Marilyn has just completed 6.5 km in just over 3 hours which is close to her usual pace of 2 km per hour.

Nausea

Marilyn has had boughts of nausea and is requesting ginger tea that usually helps. Near perfect conditions calm and sunny!
