  4. Hi Phil, your comment is obviously special for us. We know that you can really understand what we went through. We had to abort the swim about 2/3 of the way from Cyprus to Israel, due to adverse sea conditions, it became too dangerous for boarding the boat at the end of each shift, not to mention the need to swim further away from the yawing boat, with the risk of it losing sight of the swimmer in the darkness.
    We came out stronger than before and already planning on a second attempt.
    We believe you guys had a similar attitude, and it inspired us. Thank you!!
