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. Läs mer

Who said it would be easy? Even before the adventure started, an accident happened. When there are waves, it is difficult with heavy bags, I had to load 21 liters of water outside my bags. So I decided to tie my big bag at the far end of the bathing jetty while I was going to get the other one from the beach. When I come out with the 55 liter bag, I see to my horror that the handle of the big bag has been torn off by a big wave. How lucky that it happened here where there is help to be found, and not in the wilderness that would lie ahead of me. So now I have to get back to Istanbul and find someone who can weld (HF) I got help from a girl how I meet on the beach
Suan. We went to Särköy to try to fix the bag but nobody could help us. The nedells in the sawing machines broke, and we didn't find any glue. So Suan drives me to Kesan from where I take the bus to Alexandrapoulis. In Grecce. I will send the bag to sweden from there. I will also swim some 50 kilometers while waiting for the bag to be fixed.Läs mer

Today I had my first swim in the Autumn of 2025 as from some 4,000 kilometers I should have done more than five but I didn't have my GPS with me so it's hard to know when you reach your goals. It's not too heart is 29 degrees it's not like in June when it was 35 so I cope with the Heat without my tarp. This is a natural reservat so I have to hide in the bushes so nobody sees my tent.Läs mer

Today I had to swim further because I ran out of food for the little raft. I bought it at the toy store. It doesn't work to load on as much as I need. Like you, I met Millenn on the beach, a guy from Bulgaria, he was here with his family. I asked where the shops were. He said it was six kilometers there, so he drove the car back and forth, it was great. Still around 12 km to Kavalla, so I'll do 6 km tomorrow and it was a long day today, eight, so tomorrow we'll rest a bit.Läs mer

Kavala
15 september 2025, Grekland ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Today I had to walk far because there was two harbors in the way of my swimming to Kavala. I ended up at the castle station I had something to eat and a beer and a talk with the lady in the cashier. I told her what I was doing and that I needed to taxi to get into Kavala to meet the center TV. After been waiting for a while she came out from the cashier and said to me that your taxi is here but you need to pay cash. I never had cash I said to her, then she said come in let's take your card and I will give you 15 Euro. There was no taxi, I think it was her uncle or some old man who took me into the TV.. Later that evening in Kavala when I was walking I stumbled on her daughter that I met also at the gasoline station.Läs mer

Golden Fish
16 september 2025, Grekland ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
I swam about eight kilometers today and then I went up to see if there was a place to eat and I ended up at Golden Fish. I had the best fish soup during my entire adventure and the same with sardines which were so good. After lunch I asked the owner if it was possible to camp at the back of the restaurant. No, not at the back, then you can camp in front among the tables. Later he showed me the storage room, well, their storage space is huge, so I slept there with help indoors, it's a little quieter because the road is right outside.Läs mer

I had a nice swim around the Cape to this Beach.
Found a Bodybord on my way, so tomorrow I will put my small inflatable bird on top of the one I found.
Yesterday I pulled my hand over a sea urchin and got 9 stings, and one is still there and itches a lot. So at night I had to make a wet compress to relieve the itching.Läs mer

Well another day with a 5 km swim.
And the place is just the place nothing ordinario nothing beautiful but at least I am on the ground and I can put my tent here.
Where I was going on sure there was a military practice area so I have to swim back 100 m to this place.
The cheap farmer came by and he said it's okay to compare you can stay as long as you want perfect.
It's nice to have a small campfire in the morning, it dries up the humidity inside the tent that keeps me warm before the sun comes up.Läs mer
