As Penny Palfrey stepped off of Kaena Point on the northwest side of Oahu swimming away from the capital island of Hawaii, her husband Chris was swimming towards Oahu from Molokai.
Chris did the First Family of Marathon Swimming well by setting a new Molokai Channel record in 12:53, a feat that has only been accomplished by 12 other swimmers.
Congratulations to this pair of modern-day adventurers.
