Molokai Channel - 1 / CAITLIN - 0
Saturday 18/11/23 - 2:00AM
Another tough day on the water for Caitlin..
Starting from the Western Coast of Molokai at approximately 2.00am Caitlin entered the water in good spirits and though there was little natural light to guide her except for phosphorescence sparkling around her as she swam. Conditions were a little choppy and a cross swells wrapping around the coast from both north & south were not particularly speed inducing though we did have a tailwind once clear a few miles of the Island.
By Sunrise the wind had died but the swell & chop continued
