Nick Pelletier can only rely on his crew for food and liquid replenishment.
Kelowna ultra endurance athlete Nick Pelletier is in the middle of another incredible adventure as he currently finds himself swimming the Molokai Channel of Hawaii.
From Molokai to Oahu, the swim covers a distance of 42 kilometres and has become a common place for shark attacks. According to his Instagram page, Pelletier and his boat crew have now surpassed the halfway mark of the swim in approximately 12 hours time. Forced to tred water for hours on end without touching anything for support, Pelletier is completely on his own for this journey, and can only rely on his crew for food and liquid replenishment.
