One more individual, with a bit of aloha, has been added to the
Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming:
Michael Miller of Kailua (Honolulu), Hawaii. The global list now stands at 33.
Michael completed the Catalina Channel in 10:20 in 2003, the English Channel in 16:09 in 2008 and swam around
Manhattan Island in 8:03 in 2004.
For good measure,
Michael (shown on left before his Manhattan Island swim)started off his
marathon swimming career in Hawaii when he crossed the
Molokai Channel (
Kaiwi Channel) in 1979 in 16:37.

Molokai Channel in 15:59 in 2006, the
