Interview with Lynne Cox Part II

Posted by mikeyactive on Jan 10, 2007 12:41:34 PM

[http://active.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/lynnecox2.jpg]This is the second part of our conversation with Lynne Cox, author of Swimming to Antarctica and her newest book 'Grayson'--the story of her experience with an abandoned gray whale off the coast of California. Here we discuss how she trains for her open water swims and where she plans to swim next.

 

Grayson would be 30 years old now. Do you think of him often? Oh yeah. How could you not? It's like having a relationship with somebody and they move on, and you always wonder what happened to them. Did he have a family? If I'm swimming off Palos Verdes and I see the migration of the gray whales, I always wonder if he's out there with them.

Wow! This week I saw the TV program on your Antartic swim and this evening I found your interview on the web.

 

Maybe you'd consider your next swim as Red Sea/Four Nations, Egypt-Israel-Jordan-Saudi Arabia. All four are very close and a unifying swim could promote peace.
