Istanbul to Stockholm

I’m raising the bar — extending my swim from Istanbul to Cadiz all the way to Stockholm, following the Atlantic coastline and later Danmark and sweden for around some extra 8000 kilometers. It's an 11 year project. Lue lisää

    Well since it blowing up every morning I went away at 7:00 in the morning to get away before the waves came.. I'm so happy I stopped yesterday because I swim today wouldn't be possible today in the waves because it was Cliffs down to the border and then it was really deep 50 m and a lot of Rocks I would have hurted myself.Lue lisää

    Well I started early in the morning before the strong wind picked up I made over 4,000 m. I have to pick a camp site that is protected from the strong wind that it's going on until midnight. When I came to shore I met guys from Afghanistan working with this big sundeck. They offered me tea and I had a long chat with them. Suddenly a guy showed up who looked more like a boss so I went talking with him his name was Levent. So I told him what I'm doing and showed some videos. Then they asked me if I'm hungry and I said of course I'm always hungry doing this. So I got invited for a Turkish breakfast up in the restaurant since his manager is the boss.Lue lisää

    Today was really exciting because I was going to pass a port where ships dock with LNH gas that will be converted into gas for bottles. I know every time I pass a port, if I don't walk around it, there will be problems. But I swam on it and it went really well because the wind was blowing aft. I just passed the ship that was docked there, when I hear a siren and see blue lights and someone screaming into a megaphone in Turkish. I can't help but smile and say that I'm going to swim to Spain. Then I get closer to the boat in the stern they have a basket. There I load my bags myself and then they hoist me onto the boat. Of course I have to show my passport that is inside the bag I take it out. Then they want to know what I'm doing.
    I tell them again what I'm doing and show them clips from Turkish TV. I've apparently passed through a military area where foreigners are not allowed. He shows an app he used, Garmin boating, and then you go in and you can see that there are dotted lines where it's a military area. My Marlin that I have for navigation doesn't have that information, I say. They say that passport control will take a good hour. I'm offered coffee while we wait. I give them each an embroidered badge about my adventure. All went well and they said you can keep swimming to Greece, just don't forget to get your passport stamped in the last harbor. problems..

    I was swimming really well today and I made a good course in the Marlin App, so I didn't have to swim so much in shallow water. My plan was to swim 5,800, but when I saw this place it looked so beautiful so I wanted to stay here. Just have to remind myself that this is not the race this is a way to live. I had a pretty good night with sleep it was warm and cozy.Lue lisää

    Today was pretty rough because it was against the wind and the current was pushing me outwards so my GPS was redirecting me all the time, so I went without batteries off the 7,000 m. Then I saw at the shoreline that there were a lot of trees and I thought that I could search for shelter for the wind tonight. So I aimed for that point swimming but fast it gets so shallow the water and after a while it was only like 10 cm no more water so I have to drag the bags behind me all the way but not to the shoreline it was impossible so aimed for the Harbour where I now have my tent. The first one I met there was called Ali and asked him about the restaurants. Let me call my friend and ask him if the surve food this time of day. It didn't take long before Guner the Hunger came with his car and picked me up. He made my day, I had mitx salad and sardinas and 2 bears and bread of course.Lue lisää

    I just experienced my first earthquake in my life such a strange feeling, luckily I was sitting down resting my back to my bags on the grass, , if not I would surely fall to the ground.
    The wind should be like 4 m/s but the guests is so much stronger and I worried that the tent my be ripped in part this night.
    Pretty good Nights sleep not to cold and the wind died during the night.
    My plans have changed. I was supposed to be picked up tonight and driven to the other side to Sarköy and swim the part of the Sea of Marmaris that wasn't done last fall.
    It's because of the earthquake yesterday, my support who was supposed to pick me up tonight and drive me to Sarköy , has to help their elderly up in Istanbul after the earthquake. So the new plan is in september fly to Istanbul and then I swim the part that's missing over in the Sea of Marmaris    Lue lisää

    I think today I will get a puncture in my madrass.There are Sticky things under my tent. I felt it wehn I was leaning on the floor with my hands.
    In case the air runs out of the mattress, I have placed my pump at the foot of the bed so I can pump up the mattress at night.
    I had a great swim this morning at 4,400 Meter. I I thought I was passing a military base there were so many fences all over, I just stuck my head deep in the water and didn't want to look to the shore I was breathing only to the left. Luckily nothing happened they could take me for a spy. The night was cold and hummid.    Lue lisää

    Already in the Morning before I started to swim I saw something in the water that looked like alges. but when I rounded the Cape of the 1500 meter I saw that it was shit in the water I would be swimming in mustard, and it got worse the longer i swam. I hope I won't get sick later today. 3 days without Contact with humans so nice. So far according to my food plan to eat when I come up from the water in a restaurant It is really disappointing.
    I had a vision that there would be small villages along the coast with a harbor and you could just go out from the water and climb a ladder and sit down and have your lunch. But it's not like this in this part of Turkey.
    Tonight looks like the wind will keep on blowing and the walls of my tent will be smashing me in the head all night long hopefully this will not happen.
    I just open the Google Maps and lukt för Supermarket Oh my god just one eleven minutes from my camping site. I even got a ride home from the supermarket.
    I have so much hassle with the zipper too close to the sleeping bag.
    Tonight I woke up warm so I had to take off my hoodie, let's see if my body stay warm without the hoodie hopfolly hit works.
    It should get me some more room inside the sleeping bag for my shoulders.
    Well in the end I got the little bit chilly around 5:00 and then I took my hoodie inside the sleeping bag and put it like a blanket over my chest and I slept till 6:00.    Lue lisää

    I had a nice swim 3,800 m in the morning and the water is 13 maybe 13 and a half already. I love the spot where I put my tent today it's a long beach with small flat stones and I'm totally alone here. There's a lot of air around because the mountain behind me is not so high.
    Today I started working on my tan.    Lue lisää

    Now I don't give shit even if there comes a hail storm.
    When I was swimming today and it was going really fast, I felt such resistance and I thought it was someone holding the bag. I stop and turn around and see that my flagpole has bent, it had gotten caught in a fishing line. Now I have fixed it with a piece of steel that I found on the beach so now it is like new again.
    Last night it was cold again, I started with 2 layers of clothes but froze so much that I had to put on another layer. BRRRR    Lue lisää

    Hello guys when I came on shore Ahmed was waiting there and he offered me coffee and pastries. And later in the evening I'm invited to his house to have some raki alcohol. And after a while my friend Pizza Napoli came from Gilliboulli with pizza for lunch. He had found one bottle of gas it's difficult to find these gas bottles that are necessary for me to cook and keep warm in the tent. I now have four bottles of gas and it would last for like 30 days if I'm really mean with the gas.
    I have to my surprise One restaurant opened today so I went there and had the hamburger and not sure if it was from the fall, I don't know let's see how my stomach copes tonight.
    And in the end I had five beers today so I felt good.
    The water was pretty warm today I think it's closer to 13 than 12°.
    The night was warm just pity they had a grill party on the beach until 03.40    Lue lisää

    I was a lack of water and I was worried because the camping was closed when I reached here. So I started to set up my camp and an old man came walking down to the pier here. I showed him my video of what I'm doing and he actually spoke English. So I asked if hi could help me with water because I'm lacking,and he went away and came back with 5 L of water oh my God, he made my day.
    Last night was pretty cold so I went up at 05:15
    It's hard to fit into the sleeping bag with 6 layers of clothing on my upper body. Limited mobility has caused problems with the joints in my arms.    Lue lisää

    The night was pretty okay I slept from 8:00 until 1:00 in the morning and then I went out for a pee and went back to the bed and slept to quarter to 5:00. My swim was at 2900 M and it was a headwind and it was against the current but the water was crystal clear it was a real joy to swim anyway.
    First day in shorts sitting in the shelter lovely
    I was on lack of water so i took a walk and met a lovely old lady, she filed my bottle and made my day.
    I went to bed at eight, but at 9:30 p.m. the prayer call started screaming so I woke up for half an hour. But then I slept wonderfully and the first night without freezing I woke up at 6:30.    Lue lisää

    Last night was pretty good not so cold after I worked with my sleeping bags for hours to make it fluffy again.
    The swimming this morning was pretty rough because the current was 0.5 notes and the headwind I don't know how much it was but still it has to make a lot of effort to make my 3,400 m with a medium of 2 minutes 10 seconds per 100 m.
    I have become really fast to set my Camp, so now I've been enjoying lunch and coffee afterwards and making some updates with Facebook and you know all the stuff around you.
    Uhhhff all the clothes I've worn on my upper body over the past week have made my shoulders stiffen at night.
    Wow the cheaps came walking, I am lucky they went away. I thought they will stay all day eating flowers.
    I had so little light on this morning when I was going to pour cinnamon on the porridge and opened the big hole so there was more cinnamon than porridge.    Lue lisää

    Tonight I had a bad sleep again because it was so f****** cold. I know what the problem is. I washed my sleeping bag in the summer when I was in Sweden, and I put it in the dryer it's too high temperature so the synthetic textile melted. So during the morning and day I have been ripping it apart with my hands from bothside of the sleeping bag. Let's see if it gets more fluffy and keeps me warm better.
    Today I reinforced the tent poles and sewed my logo onto my hat.
    Later Erdem came walking on the beach with a friend and he asked me if I was missing something and, I said as it was I would love to have some more water. He went a way and came back with water and some biscuits. Better days soon and I get some sleep as it is right now hard to swim longer distances due low water temperature 🌡️    Lue lisää

    Today was like summer returned, the sun was shining, the water was calm, and the campsite is perfect. I have received help here, I will have dinner for the evening, and I have been given water by friendly Turks.
    Wow after eating noodles since Monday, I was invited to dinner today. I got to bring fish to the tent and fry it. Thanks Oğuz Çetin! And say thanks to your pales. None of that would be possible without my Ayhan Kutlu. Thanks bro.
    I didn't understand why I sowed seeds at night in October when it was still quite warm when I was going to sleep. Now I know why. I washed my sleeping bag at home in Sweden and I put it in the dryer on high temperature, which melts the synthetic material that is supposed to insulate.
    When I was clocking the dolphin swam just in front of me on the beach, they were eating fish from the net    Lue lisää

    It started with a cold morning as usual so far, I haven't been sleeping really well because I've been cold. So I put on my wetsuit in the tent due to the strong wind. When I was swimming dark clouds approached and I was a friend for Lightning and Thunder so I vent of shore after 1300 meters. I made a big mistake this morning I first threw my small bag on the shore and when I went back to the water big waves came and it just turned around my big bag and the flag post broke. I learned a lesson always the big back on the shore first.
    When I was standing on the beach, a goat came running along the beach straight towards me, and I thought now it's best to protect what you have between your legs so I took the little Subtech bag as an airbag in case it would hit me. It was pouring rain and water was flowing down from the mountains right where I was going to set up the tent, So I followed the little river a bit up and saw that it branched off in another direction too so I built a dam for the one that flowed towards my campsite.
    It's slowly getting warmer but at night it's still cold, i have 6 layers on my clothes on my chest and 3 on my legs.
    I got company fischers laying nets, another reason to swim close the shore.    Lue lisää

    Yes I found this spot because it looks secure if the heavy rain comes tomorrow. I have to stay all day I want to be protected and at the same time the flat stones on the surface will let the water pemetret right so it will not be water under my tent that's important because I have some small holes in the floor. I saw 2 swordfish swimming by.Lue lisää

    Fishing cottage overnight stay

    10.–11. huhtik. 2025, Turkki ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    The wind picked up and I made a good decision to abort my swim. When I came on shore there was a house, and as usual on the beach there were two guys. I asked them if I could sleep anywhere and they said of course you can sleep in or fisher house.
    When I had taken off my wetsuit and I came into the house they treated me with cheese and bread and tea of course. I bought a couple of extra bottles of gas now I use it to keep up the temperature close to my bed during the night. Soon to come warmer nights. You really have to like your own company to be able to do something like I'm doing right now, I spend so much time alone. Here in Turkey it gets dark really early in the evening and it is still dark until seven o'clock in the morning so it's many hours that you are alone in the tent or in a house.    Lue lisää

    When I was about to go ashore, there were some fishermen who were launching their boat, so I took the opportunity to help because it always pays off. When they came back, I was invited to grilled fish and grilled lamb and coffee. I was offered accommodation but declined because now it was time to set up the tent, so tonight will be the first night. The swim was surprisingly easy even though it was against the current against the waves, I can fight even if the swim is hard and it's not fast, but the most important thing is to get ahead.Lue lisää
