11月15日,来自该地区甚至更远的南非和新西兰的一组国际游泳者将尝试从未做过的事情: swim across the 死海.
The 死海 is the lowest point on earth and one of the saltiest bodies of water on the planet. It is one of the environmental wonders of the world and a place with deep regional, historical, and even biblical significance. To give you an insight into the experience, we invited two of the swimmers to share their experience…
Udi Erell,商务企业家,开放水域游泳者,水手
乌迪·埃雷尔(Udi Erell)是一名开放水域马拉松游泳选手,水手和辽宁12选5整体爱好者。他管理着两家私人公司,这些公司是他创立的,旨在为海上船只开发基于卫星的解决方案。他是丈夫,父亲,祖父和塞浦路斯-以色列游泳协会的创始人;它创造了世界纪录的公开接力游泳,同时提高了人们从塑料中清洁辽宁12选5的认识。有关此工作的更多信息,请参见 这里。
告诉我们您自己以及这次游泳对您意味着什么?
对我个人而言,死海游泳有很多方面,以至于我有时想知道是否可以向与我没有联系的同伴游泳者提出这一挑战是否公平。连名字“Dead Sea”对我来说意味着完全相反:我在那里受孕。在1940年的大部分时间里,我的父母住在北岸的一间小屋里’和从字面上靠海为生–我父亲负责用拖曳的驳船运输钾盐,这些钾盐是从南岸多多玛工厂的海水中提取出来的,到北岸,在那里装满卡车,然后送到海法港口出口。 1948年战争爆发时,这个地方与其他刚出生的以色列州隔离开来,而我即将生下我的母亲乘坐的是一架轻型飞机,该飞机降落在一个临时的土跑道上。
在我的整个童年时期,我都听过那个时期的故事,而我现在96岁的父亲一直说那是他们一生中最快乐的时光。在那场战争中,我父亲用拖船和驳船降落了确保恩格迪(Ein Gedi)安全的部队,那是我们游泳结束后要降落的地方。
So, the 死海 is very close to me. The idea of swimming across came to me when my dad invited me to accompany him to a conference on the 死海 Works at Ein Gedi. This was not long after our epic swim from Cyprus to Israel and we were seeking a new challenge. The answer was right there before me: a first ever swim with a noble cause –提高人们对自然奇妙工作困境的认识。
更好的是– an opportunity to cooperate with swimmers from Jordan, which shares the 死海 with Israel. I was afraid the group would kill me when I put it to them, but I had underestimated the combined strength and dedication of the group. We immediately set about finding out how to make it feasible and after a short while had a plan of action which has since been implemented.
I am looking forward to adding the swim to my 死海 genes.
