The Certainty of Uncertainty Principle shed its ugly head as the 6-person team of Erell, Doron Amosi, Ben Enosh, Ori Sela, Oded Rahav, and Luc Chetboun with crew members Erez Amir, Nimrod Or, and Uri Brown was heading to the Israeli coast from their start on Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea.

But for the first few days, it was glassy water and smooth sailing for the 6 relay swimmers who were attempting to break the Night Train Swimmers record for the longest non-stop relay swim.

The team started early in order to avoid the oncoming storm, but the foul weather inevitably caught up with them and caused the relay to be stopped.

“We are definitely planning on making the attempt again,” said Udi Erell about the Cyprus Israel Relay Swim.
