"Australian Penny Palfrey, age 48, is about to do the unthinkable: swim the Kaʻieʻie Waho channel that separates Kauai from Oahu by nearly 75 miles. She hopes to begin the swim by Tuesday, depending on conditions, and plans for the crossing to take between 30 and 40 hours.
Palfrey is one of world's most experience long distance swimmers whose accomplishments include the English Channel. Yet this will be her longest, roughest and most challenging swim ever. This channel is known for extremely harsh currents. It was responsible for keeping Kauai separate from the other Hawaiian Islands until it was conquered two hundred years ago by King Kamehameha."
