… which is… Stacey, Lynn and Mel swimming the Northumberland Strait!
For those of you who failed your Grade 8 Geography class… the Northumberland Strait is the body of water between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island… where we built the Confederation Bridge a few years ago… I’m sure it’s all coming back to you now.
Anyway, they are on their way there. Although I heard from Mel and things weren’t going so smoothly so far. And they aren’t even there yet.
Mel, “Mel’s husband”, Dalia and “Cadence the cookie-maker” were broken down outside of Montreal last I heard… waiting for car parts. I think this was the basis for National Lampoon’s Vacation. Don’t worry Mel… we’ll all laugh about this some day. (I’m not sure you guys will… but we will!).
And I saw something that I thought would help Lynn. You see when we did the Swim Around Key West last year she was afraid of sharks. And sure enough she came nose to nose with one! Granted it was when she was swimming in about 3 feet of water and it was a baby shark about 18 inches long… but still.
So naturally she was wondering what the probability of there being sharks in the Northumberland Strait… well I heard from numerous people that there “aren’t any”… but given there are no fences in the ocean, that just means they are exceptionally rare.
But then I heard there were sharks there!… but that they just didn’t seem be quite as ferocious looking as sharks in other parts of the world!
So just picture these guys when that thought comes into your head Lynn!
Cheers,
Rob
