His latest 16.4K stage swim took 6 hours around Nakhilo Island and Jobrain island in the Bord-e-khon region in the jellyfish-strewn 18°C water – which puts him ahead of schedule despite some days cut short by a variety of factors.
He will make some adjustments in his distances in order to stay ahead of schedule.
