Mack Straits Swim is a GO!

I finally found my kayakers! One is a rock star paddler, who also teaches sea kayaking, and has made this crossing before. He has his own marine radio, and knows how to use it, AND  He's a firefighter and EMT. He will be bringing along another paddler friend,  who will come in handy in case I need a tow. People are also putting out the message that I would like to have a power sailboat along for the ride.  This is going to be the adventure of a lifetime! We will be raising money for Gleaners Community Food Bank in Detroit, so I am looking for fundraisers. This swim should grab some attention, as I will be 64 when I swim it. The more publicity, the more money we raise for this very worthwhile charity. Now I  can concentrate on training, and purchase a wetsuit. I plan to make a trip or two  out to the lake,  to train with the wetsuit. So the fun begins!
