with all due respect chaos, and much is indeed due, that is a major misstatement of Lynn's Cape of Good Hope Swim ... and Lynne is my idol and Penney almost ties for 1st, and still does (congrats Penny!)
Moreover, no sharks were killed on Lynne's swim, if that is what you mean by 'taken out'.
thanks for the text. i actually have 4 copies of swimming to antarctica (3 were gifts after i swam the EC) but only read it once... about 10 years ago. still, my intention was not to demonize Lynn or diminish her accomplishments but to point out that attitudes evolve, and a couple of frogmen with spear guns as your safety crew would probably be frowned upon today.
