When I was a young teenager I remember Florence Chadwick, who had a restaurant near us in San Diego, swiming the English Channel both ways (46+ miles)
but I thik the SOC would be much mre difficult and scary.

Makes more sense to me than walking around the peninsula in the middle of Summer!

Paul put in an amazing effort. He pushed through incredibly challenging conditions with lots of jelly fish, wind and currents. In 24 hours he
conquered 30 miles. With one and a half times the distance left to travel, core temperature cooling, and legs dropping in the water, the crew pulled
Paul from the water. He is safe, talking, and resting. Everyone has lots of jelly fish stings, but none of them serious. He put out an incredible
effort, and he is considered everyone’s hero down there. So proud of him!
Can't wait to hear from the whole crew. On their way to Loreto now.

Lycra
Is what is used in this area for protection from jelly fish.
