I DID IT! WE DID IT! 12:29HOURS!


Dear family and friends,

I did it! 12:29 Hours! It was the best swim of my life! I owe the success of this crossing to my fantastic support boat crew. They played a key role during this swim. Thanks Kim Howard, thanks Gary Bruce and thanks my dear father; Sr.Edison Peinado, Reg and Ray Brickell and Channel Swimming Association Observer, Mike.

Crossing the Shipping Lane


100 yards from the beach

Kim and Gay. They literally rocked that boat!

My father, Sr. Eddie Peinado, my guardian angel.

To one of the BEST countries in the world; I love you my USA!

Brazil: I LOVE YOU! Forget soccer...stick with swimming!

Thanks Eperia! Thank you Helio Gori and Antonio Carlos Turchiari,AKA Peninha.
