This past Saturday morning, Pat the Pickerel and Jacque the Jack began their journey to swim from Victoria Beach pier till they reached landfall at Gimli Harbour, a distance of 31 km. The two fish left before sunrise at 545 AM and arrived at Gimli just after 400 PM. They had expected it might take them closer to 15 hours to cross the big lake. But, with sunny skies and a slight tailwind they were able to keep a three-kilometre-an-hour pace and arrived with a time of just over 10 hours (10 hours and 17 minutes).
Congratulations boys!
Little do they know that Cherrie and I are planning our own feat, but Cherrie does not know that either...
