They all say this with all confidence. Since that's a Thursday, my best guess is it will be Sunday November 4. Show up at Playa Norte, at the swim club, about 7 am or a bit earlier. They swim every day, so when you come down it would be good to get there early on a Thursday or Saturday morning to get to know the group. They said there is now a US American involved in the swim club, and that they'd put me in touch with him. If I hear more I'll let you know. It is sooooo much fun each year! Definitely worth doing if you are able to swim that far.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854748070722944234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871841558842240997.post-25945726251388564542012-05-09T14:45:21.671-06:002012-05-09T14:45:21.671-06:00Dear Shae, the Club de Natación on the malecón coo...Dear Shae, the Club de Natación on the malecón coordinates it, to the best of my knowledge. I can ask there, and I also have a few friends who participate. As you know, here things tend not to be planned very far in advance, but I can get you contact info so you can check. I am in Bogotá on business for a couple of weeks, but when I'm back home in MZT I will check and get back to you. Thanks! It's a terrific event. I'm not up to the swim, but I have hoped to go out in kayak to accompany those who get tired and need refreshment. BTW it's called the "Travesía."Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854748070722944234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871841558842240997.post-83864993019468648772012-05-09T10:58:35.012-06:002012-05-09T10:58:35.012-06:00Hey there, I just got back from Mazatlan and the l...Hey there, I just got back from Mazatlan and the last morning there I heard about the November swim to Deer Island. I cannot find any info on this and am interested in giving this a shot. Your blog is the only reference I have located. Do you have any info on this or know whom I may contact? Thanks so much! :)<br /><br />Shaeshaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02694171369185454083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871841558842240997.post-39162885829129799672012-01-20T09:48:31.222-07:002012-01-20T09:48:31.222-07:00Bodie's doing such a great job with the photo ...Bodie's doing such a great job with the photo art pieces.
