Istanbul to Stockholm

Jari Cennet TammiToday I got a pain in my left shoulder after about 7600 meters because I was swimming against the wind with waves that had to lift my arms high. after 8770 meters I was so pee-sick so I thought I had to go ashore and pee I don't want to pee in my wetsuit. while I was about to bring the wetsuit I saw a man running along the beach and shouting all sorts of things I didn't understand I just need to pee. but when I had taken off my upper body I decided to take off my entire wetsuit, thinking I might as well camp here when my shoulder hurts. but when I get into the water the man comes up to me he knows a little English and he says this is a military training area you can't be here you have to swim back. I start to put on the wetsuit I don't even have time to get the first leg in before military vehicles arrive, two conscripts start shouting also in Turkish pointing at me to swim back I can't swim forward. I insist I'm going to the Gilliboli 'm not going back. Then he starts to ring the phone and after a while he says Curonel will come. After a while a car comes with an officer and two armed conscripts. He comes up to me, extends his hand and says welcome Jari. I Showed the video from Turkish TV what I'm doing. You can swim further he said, but first we'll take a selfie. So I swam around this entire military area so that today I swam 11 km in total. I had good luck, a guy on the beach had a car and his drow me too Napoli Pizza that's my friend's Pizzeria here in Gillibuoli
