anyone have any information, or where to get information, on swimming the straits of mackinac, such as: the history, who has done it, the distance from the lower to upper peninsula (7-8 miles?), water temperature and general conditions, coast guard regional authority? looks like it would be an interesting open water swim.
thanks, mark

I'd love to swim it, it would be a nice event. Crossed the bridge in 1985 on a bicycle. I think a July/August swim would be ok on water temp there are many swims in colder waters without wet suits.
