Steve has had quite the busy schedule... now, only Tsugaru to go. I wonder what his timeline for that swim is? I think it will be much sooner than the North Channel warms up enough for Penny to make an attempt there.... plus, she is attempting Cuba to Key West in June. Smart money is on on Mr Redmond to win the Ocean&#39;s Seven race.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/270033?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 26 Feb 2012 10:55:15 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:16d2550d-cdbf-4663-822f-3558cb6ef92cevmoLongest ever time-to-completion for a Molokai crossing, according to his FB page.
