Lynne Cox on Swimming in the Sink
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Lynne Cox, author of Swimming in the Sink published September 6th, by Knopf.
*Swimming in the Sink is Lynne’s sixth work.
*Swimming to Antarctica-a whole other swim
*Grayson-whale
*South with the Sun Roald Amundsen and his conquest of the north and south poles and the Northwest Passage. I always felt so sorry for Scott. Take care of our people
*Open Water Swimming Manual-speaks for itself.
*Elizabeth Queen of the Seas-about a real life elephant seal and her affinity for crossing the street.
Her records and accomplishments are so numerous it would take the whole show to cover them. Here are a few.
Her Catalina swim when she was 14.
Twice the record men and women’s for the English Channel, taking it back from someone who dared to try to usurp her.
Cook Straits in New Zealand first woman
Straits of Magellan
Cape of Good Hope
Bering Strait honored by Gorbachov and Reagan
A mile in the sea of Antarctica-her book is about.
Her swims are so cold that the water turns viscous like 30 weight motor oil.
She even has an asteroid named after her!
The main thing is she does things that are impossible and does them with grace, fortitude and drive. Qualities we can all apply to our waking everyday realities.
