Theodore Yach today took on the impossible swim from Hout Bay to Robben Island, via the great white shark alley off Dyer Island. The 35km would have taken him a minimum of 12 hours, but it wasn’t to be. Massive swell and an unfavourable current meant that he had to call off the mammoth swim. Knowing Theodore, he will be back, wih a vengeance, to complete one of the most difficult swims in the world.
