Hi Everyone! I'm organizing a crossing of the Strait of Messina in August 2004. The Strait of Messina is between Calabria and Sicily, Italy. The swim is approximately 3.3KM, but there are strong currents. We're organizing the swim with all the safety bells and whistles required by law, and by common sense. We've got a website up at: members.xoom.virgilio.it/.../, but we're still working on it. I'll be tranlating it in English soon too. The date is still unsure because given the strong tide currents, we want to calculate it according to the moon phases to have the smoothest ride.
So, if anyone's interested, send me an email, and I'll let you know more details as they come up. This should be fun!
Mary
Thank you very much for all this helpful information.I have a sister who lives near Florence and she has a friend-an ex-pat from New Zealand-who lives in Sicily and who is the driving force behind this urge to do the swim. She said the applications open in May-so we plan on 2013. We might have better luck with Maryyyyy's friend. Will check on both events. And this will be the incentive for me to learn some more Italian.
