It's the fifth time I stand on the shore, the Cuban shore looking out at the distant horizon, believing
again that I'm gonna make it
All the way across that vast dangerous wildness of an ocean
Not only have I tried four times but the greatest swimmers in the world have been trying since 1950
and still never been done
The team is proud above four tempts.
It's an expedition of some 30 people
Bunny is my best friend and head handler, who somehow will that last drop of will within me when I think it's gone after many many hours and days out there
The shark experts are the best in the world, large predadors below
The now the box yelly fish, the deadliest demon in all of the ocean is in these waters
and I've come close to dying from them on the previous attempt
The conditions themselves beside the sheer distance over a hundred miles in the open ocean that currents and the goldstream themselves the most unpredictable of all of the plenadorth
And by the way, it's amusing to me that
Journalists and people, you know before this attempts, often ask me
Well, are you gonna go with any boats or any people or anything?
And I think: what are they imagining that I'll just sort of do some celestial navigation?
and I'll carry a... knife in my mouth and I'll hunt fish and skim them alive, and you know eat them?
and maybe drag this celebration plan behind me for fresh water
Yes, I have a team
and the team is expert
and the team is couragous
and briming with innovation and scientific discovery as it's true with any major expedition on the planet.
and we've been on a journey
and you know that debate has rate... or isn't it what is all about?
it's life about the journey not really the destination
and here we've been on this journey and the true is that it's been thrilling
We haven't reached that other shore and still are sense of pride and commitment unwavering commitment
When I turned sixteen, the dream was still alive from having tried this on my twenties
