This morning BopOp endeavored to repeat a lake crossing first accomplished by him in 1970.
I will let him tell his story on his blog – rentonkayaker.blogspot.com/
This video was taken at 08:32, when he had really settled into a good pace. Entry was at 08:00
At this time his moving average speed for the full thirty minutes was over 1 mph and the moving speed of the boat at the time of the video was between 1.4 and 1.6 mph.
His stroke rate, as counted from this video, was a very nice 68 strokes per minute.
Very nice indeed.
BopOp on the 40 Year Swim (30+ seconds)
Early on in the video I needed to adjust my position and needed to set the camera down. I didn’t take the time to edit this out.

Nice video! Sound and resolution really makes you feel like your are right there with Bopop — only without the cool, wet stuff!
I just realized that Bopop was in the water almost exactly the same distance as 40 years ago: From Lakeridge Community Beach to Kennydale beach is insignificantly different distance than Bopop’s swim today. How about that!??
