Congratulations to Boris Mavra who swam from Germany and stopped just 1500 metres short of Denmark today 10 September 2013. His Dad provided the support crew.
His time in the water is estimated to be six hours and 41 minutes.
Boris left Fehmarn, Germany at 07:30 and was close to Rodbyhavn, Denmark at 14:11
Boris sent a text to update us regarding what happened.
"Many thanks for all your texts and messages. I did not make it to Denmark, we called the swim off 1500m from the finish. I was facing Force 5 head wind and was making approximately 350-400m every 30 minutes, last four minutes I made 10 metres on the GPS. I was feeling normal, rated 54-55 for my stroke rate, sea was nice and warm, but the wind was the worst I've experienced when swimming. Short summary: I picked a bad day. It's a nice swim worth doing."
Congratulations for getting so close from your friends at Serpentine SC
