Anzac Cove swim Gallipoli

This was the 4th Continental swim in my 6 continental swim around the world. As a person who enjoys Australian history this swim meant a lot to me as I had planned to swim across the Dardanelles from Gokceada into Anzac Cove in Gallipoli a distance of 25kms long being my European swim. But on the day of the swim we had a 30 km wind against us and the boat crew that we had organised to accompanying me said that it would be too dangerous to do the swim we had planned. So we compromised to boat across to the other side and then swim down the side of where Anzac Cove is . we decided to do a 12km swim which then took the wind out of play. The fortunate part of the change of this swim was that about 400 metres prior to Anzac Cove there is a Anzac monument with the letters of Anzac printed upon then and I was able to meet the Head of the Commonwealth War graves Commission and we walked up together up the steps and I stood in front of the Z on the monument and then I got back in the water and I then swam the remaining 400 metres into Anzac Cove and I arrived right at the place that the Anzac soldiers arrived about 90 years earlier. I stood there at the end of my swim and did a minutes silence and then I swam out to where the boat was located and we then boated around to the next jetty area.
