The real Cookie Monster...
Ultra-swimmers Murat Öz and Yasemin Altıntaş represent
Turkey in their sport internationally. The swimmers' course
is the strait between two land masses. Most recently, they
were trying to traverse the 42-kilometer (!) Molokai course
in Hawaii at midnight because the "cookie cutter" sharks
there don't come to the surface when the moon is out.
and wanna-be:
However (!), this time was the exception - Öz was bitten by
one of the creatures and had to leave the course at the half-way
point. And Yasemin hanım, a few meters ahead of him, was
stung by a poisonous Portuguese Man-of-War jellyfish!
The two swimmers returned to Turkey yesterday.
