Well it only took two weeks, but on day 15 Richard finally got optimum conditions in which to swim. A spectacular sunrise and
Check out that flat sea – not the same place we swam in yesterday?!
despite a two and a half hour journey to the waypoint, the boys knew that this was going to be a good day!
Could that flat glassy sea be the same one that they have been battling for the previous 2 weeks? It certainly was, and at 10am Richard set off on the first 3 hour leg, whilst all Nic’s workload had significantly decreased, and all he had to worry about was sorting out those drinks and enjoying the scenery. After an 8.5K swim in the morning, Richard rested for two hours and dozed off as Atlantis breathed a sigh of relief. Now that…. is more like it.
Richard Krugel cracking on
At 3 O clock, Richard set off on the second leg, in conditions that could only be described as perfect. Shoals of fish surrounded our swimmer as he covered another 5K.
A 15 minute breather and quite by surprise, some dolphins came by to say hello. It all happened so quickly, there wasn’t time to grab the camera, but it was a real highlight of the day.
Taking advantage of the wonderful conditions, Richard swam again, and in total yesterday managed 18K.
Leaving Torrent Pareis this morning, the boys are heading down towards Soller and then they are well on to the long stretch down to Dragonara which they estimate to be about a further 60 Kilometres away; with a bit of luck and a fair wind, this should take about 3.5 days. It will all be full steam ahead then for the last stretch from Andratx to Palma.
Have a great Sunday – and remember, Richard is swimming in aid of Allen Graham Charity 4

Yesterday was a glorious day ….. This morning it’s stormy again. They have had the toughest conditions, but as you know they are not going to let a spot of bad weather beat them. They will battle on to the end. x
