카약킹: DAYS 36 그리고 37 완 료
Will be updated by late Tuesday night. I have a lot of nonsense to complete before then. I will finish strong the last 6 days of the blog. Ya'll have plenty to read. ... Come back.
I went from Chagwido Harbor to Gwakji Beach (23 kilometers) on Saturday afternoon/evening, and bright and early Sunday morning I managed another 11 kilometers from Gwakji Beach to a harbor a few kilometers west of Iho Beach.

Guest Blog By Sherrin Hibbard
NEARLY THERE ...
The Jeju Big Swim reached Chagwido on August 23rd. Since then, work commitments, inclement weather, a nasty infection in my foot (that has now moved to my knee) and the difficulties of maintaining such a high level of fitness now I'm back at school, has meant that Steve kayaked by himself this weekend to get as far as [a few kilometers west of Iho Beach] - that's a huge [34] kilometers! (He's kayaking, so I get to blog!)
Our plan to finish The Jeju Big Swim is for me to meet Steve at Iho Beach next weekend and together, in company with a group of Jeju lifeguards and swimming instructors, swim the relatively easy final stretch back to Samyang Beach, arriving some time in the afternoon. The Jeju Big Swim will finally wrap up with live music on the beach starting about [5 p.m.]
We hope all our supporters will come along and party.
We are still working out the details and logistics, but we'll update here as it all comes together.

Phase 2 is in the planning stages.
My thoughts:
The most important thing. The goal – one of many – is to raise environmental awareness. How is that going to happen? It already has, but two main ideas: 1) I just finished balancing the books and as a team, we have only spent what our main sponsor, The World Environment and Peace Summer School, has given us – 2,500,000 – and what was donated in-house (200,000) from team members. Translation: We have more than 4,000,000 Won in The Jeju Big Swim bank account, which is EVERYONE’S donation, from KCTV’s 1,000,000 to Gwaneumsa’s healthy offering, to the 10,000 given to us on the Seogwipo docks. It’s all there and we have bandied the idea of using 100 percent of the money toward environmental educational program(s). 2.) And, we know there is the possibility of a grandpappy-aged, good man interested in making this a much bigger project than it already is. ...
How to finish? We are having a meeting tonight (Thursday), and will work out the logistics. We are getting a relay team – including members from the Jeju sea swimming club – all Koreans, I believe. The more people involved, the better. The more Koreans involved, better times two. The more Jejudo Koreans involved, better times three. Relay is really open for interpretation. One person may swim 1 kilometer, the next 2 kilometers, any amount, in any order toward completion. Maybe during the last stretch, we can get all the participating relay members, led by Sherrin, to swim into Samyang the last 1 or 2 kilometers together.
Health. Personally, for the swimmer (and kayaker), finishing the project, as stated above, retains our overall health.
One more thanks. Our last donation that came in was from Kim Kyoung-ho. Thanks for the support. While relaying this information in an e-mail, Ji-su wrote, "Bless this man. Really."

Day 30 휴 식
I'm not exactly sure why Captain Sherrin chose not to swim today for Day 30 of The Jeju Big Swim: Sunday, August 29, 2010. Maybe it was health reasons.
Today offered the perfect swimming conditions. How do I know? I rode out to Chagwido today and checked on the kayak and the coastline from Chagwido to Hyeopjae Beach. The sea was flat as a swimming pool and there were hundreds of boats as far as the eye could see in still waters.
We have a meeting Wednesday night.
Hopefully, we (as a team) can agree to finish The Jeju Big Swim - no matter how this happens - say the Sunday before Chuseok, rather than Sollal.
After Chuseok, our team will not fully be on Jeju, I think the media is going to start losing interest the longer we drag this out (thus losing our message), and paper-thin patience tends to disintegrate rather than strengthen.
On a side note, thanks to fresh-off-the-plane-from-Ireland Father Jerry Cotter, who invited team members Sherrin, Sung-mi, Young-lim and myself into the Colombian House in Yongduam after we witnessed the outdoor river concert close by late Saturday night. The beer or two were refreshing especially after two of us had consumed a few bowls of makgeolli prior. As always, CSI photographer Sung-mi was on the prowl.

Day 29 휴 식
Well, I wrote too soon.
The weather for Saturday, August 28, 2010, has strong winds, heavy rains, and 2- to 6-meter swells, making swimming and kayaking virtually impossible, and the Coast Guard instructed we could not go.
If an order is given in Korea, disobedience results in something akin to a beheading (and we would not be stupid and go out in this weather).
Although - I'm currently writing this at 8 a.m. - looking at the sea from my window in Samyang, it looks really, really, really, really calm.
