What Is Exchange Difference In Hong Kong?
Courtesy of the 9th annual Clean Half Extreme Marathon Swim race director Doug Woodring in Hong Kong.The 15 km Clean Half Extreme Marathon Swim in Hong Kong from the main beach in Stanley to Deep Water Bay can be traversed with traditional motorized marine vessels or with outrigger canoes in the carbon-neutral relay division.
Instead of using synthetic fuels, carbon-neutral relays used human power with a net zero carbon footprint.
Where there are some obvious differences are on the relay exchanges.
While swimmers in the traditional relays usually have someone to help me crawl or climb aboard their boat that is stalling, the swimmers in the carbon-neutral relays have to crawl or pull themselves up on their own boat under their own power.
