Introduction
On June 15th 2011, 48 year old Penny Palfrey set a new world record, swimming through shark infested waters and being stung by 3 jellyfish, to swim nearly 70 miles from Grand Cayman Island to Little Cayman Island.
This was the longest solo and unassisted swim on record.
According to reports, she was almost unrecognizable when she landed after 40 hours and 41 minutes in the water.
She had to be hospitalized and there are reports that her safety crew had to kill sharks to keep her safe.
Now if you are like most people, this does not sound like a fun 2 two trip to the Caribbean.
It sounds miserable to me.
But perhaps you have swam in the ocean before.
As a teenager I would sometimes swim out to the buoy and back.
I think these vary in distance from shore but I know that sometimes it is harder than others...
Compare dry land to God’s Word
