Devon Clifford Moving From Molokai, Onwards To Oahu
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. After completing 19.8 miles in Stage 2 and 19.8 miles in Stage 5 [affectionately known as The Bitch and The Beast) of the 8 Bridges Hudson River Swim in New York, Devon Clifford flew way westward across America and the Pacific Ocean.
Tomorrow, she will set out to swim across from the island of Molokai to the island of Oahu. “The Ka’iwi Channel spans about 26 land miles and is known to be one of the most difficult channels to swim across in the world.”
Follow her crossing attempt at 5 pm Hawaii time on June 26th here.
“I’m not quite sure how long it will take me… maybe 15 hours, maybe 17, maybe more or maybe less.
