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.

Wow! that sounds really wonderful!
I crossed over the bridge on July 29 on my way to the Negaunee-Ishpeming teal lake swim. The water in the straits looked so gorgeous, I thought about just swimming accross. I've never seen it look quite so nice there.
A swimming buddy and i would really like to do this sometime.
I have a bunch questions.
How fast are you guys? How fast could your slowest swimmer do 5 or so miles in a row?
How much did this cost? How much would it cost if you got there and you cancelled? (Say, the water was 54 degrees a with 6 foot waves)
Is there any way I could sign up to do this with you guys?
