Fortunately, after a night of strong Buriana five in the morning the wind calms down and the lake with the first light is beautifully presented, under a sky that begins to become blue with some clouds here and there.
The meeting in the square is respected by all with an accuracy quite admirable.
A lot of new friends, all excited about the show that unfolds before their eyes.
lake blue, green islands, snow-covered mountains to the Monte Rosa massif create an entirely special.
We prepare without haste and go down into the water after the usual ritual photos.
We are 11 swimmers and fierce appearance of all sports suggests a considerable level.
We start, as I always have in the back because they are very slow to take the pace and if I go into oxygen debt and then do a difficult beast to recover.
Delicious the first step in the Strait dell'isolino S. John and then we run all together in the open lake to the island Mother.
The top two swimmers wild behind a large group beautifully compact spinning in perfect harmony.
is the first time that I sometimes swim in groups, perhaps because by dint of swimming has been improving and I can keep a good speed.
I try not to scratch the feet of those in front and not to the fins in the face of those who follow me and maybe I can even at the end.
compact we ride to the island next to Mother and applauded by the tourists who come see us through.

Cheese of the valleys, local wines, pasta sauce, delicious cakes are prepared by Patrick "tasted" with great aggression, while the grandchildren of Troubetzkoj and the daughter of Peter and Paul are competing to try to break something at home, but without luck to succeed.
bad that our friends are missing the boat police blocked all night clinging to the boat to a pier under the blows of the waves to watch the sleep of our Prime Minister to the injured party.
will be for another time that will come because this crossing between the islands is really beautiful and has gained our sporting friends.
See you all for some other great adventure
