Not sure that the Atlantic is the first image that I think of when I hear Big Blue. But for Ben Hooper this is exactly what he is thinking about. He has taken on a challenge that seems impossible to attempt. Swim 1,900 miles from Africa to Brazil, do it for five months, ten hours a day and if all goes well you get there. For three years Ben practiced and practiced and now that he has entered the water he steps into the unknown. What will it be like to keep going day after day, how do you fight the boredom, how do you eat, how do you not get just tired of swimming. But none of this stopped Ben, instead he was convinced from a young age that he had to pursue that which was curious….to do something that has meaning and challenge. We need not take our challenges to the level that Ben has but we certainly should be inspired to do more, to set that stretch goal and to go after it….even when everyone around us thinks we are crazy!
