9.30 am Portmagee waiting for the boats
we leave Portmagee at 11 ,around 12.20 pm we arrived on Skellig.15 miles trip.
Our boat was very slow.
Start
On  skipper meeting in Portmagee Tim who is the founder of the swim said: Luk you have to leading the firts swimmer,so I did. On west side of Skellig Rock is the narrow passage between the rocks.
We keep swimmers from the inside so they can choose swim route.
He was the leader from start to finish ,does not surprise me - hi crossed the english channel.
girls also swim ,well done !
arrived firts Brian O'shea time 34.44 sek.
congrats men !!!
I drive boat from Skellig down to Portmagee port, 16 miles crusing on Atlantic ocean - LOVE IT ! 
and relaxing kayaking and fishing :)
great time  I never forget this.
peace Luk
