    Exclamation Swim

    I have just read in the Mail on Line, that Ben Fogel is going to attempt to swim the Atlantic Ocean from the USA to Cornwall.

    It has been done once before by a french man Benoit Lecomte in 1998 a distance of 3716 miles in 73 days.

    Fogel is a married man with two young children under the age of five.

    I do not wish him any harm in his endeavor but i honestly think he has a death wish.

    I think that if has ever seen some of those waves that the North Atlantic can throw at you and that we all have seen, he night have second thoughts.

    The world is filled with oddities, saw a man in Uk land on top of cardboard boxes after dropping from a plane without a parachute, just some wierd Superman type garment. Oddities come in all walks of life, Charles married Camila, I rest my case
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.
