Some of you may recall that in 2002, we headed out into the middle of Cass Lake in kayaks and the Chips Ahoy to see Martin Strel, the Slovenian swimmer, on his way to set a new world record by swimming the entire length of the Mississippi. As he passed through Cass Lake, CJ and some kayakers paddled alongside him while some of us watched him from the pontoon boat.
Over the weekend, Martin Strel made news again, crushing his previous world record by swimming the length of the Amazon. Amazing! You can find more information on Martin's website and on Wikipedia.

.....I bet he wouldn't moan if he was asked to get into Buck Lake for a mid-afternoon swim class....
I would much rather swim the Mississippi. No toothpick fish in the Northwoods.
