昨日は、サイコーな夜。
スイム・フレンドのパットが
ハワイ諸島のモロカイ島からオアウ島へのスイムを完泳!
やったね!
直線で26マイル(42キロ)。
おおよそ23時間のスイム。

泳ぎきった笑顔、
サイコーに美しい!

Last night was very exciting.
My swim friend, Pat, completed her Molokai channel swim (from Molokai to Oahu.)
The straight distance is 26 miles.
She swam approximately 23hours.

After just finishing her swim,
What a beautiful smile !!

これで、"オーシャンズセブン”(世界で泳ぐのが難しいと言われる7海峡)
のうち6つを制覇。
今まで成功した人々は、
若い世代に対し、
彼女は現在66歳。
スポンサーもなくすべて自費で。

イングリッシュチャンネル初挑戦(2008年)から、
ひとつの目標に向けてひたすら走りつづける彼女。
とっても、輝いています!

Now she achieved swimming 6 of the "Oceans Seven" swims
While among the "Oceans Seven" most completers are young swimmers,
she is now 66 years old.
And she accomplished all at her expense, without any sponsors.
Since her first "English Channel" in 2008,
she has carried on with her swimming goals.
I very much admire her !
