【世界七海峡＆山頂 制覇 ～ Conquering the World's 7 Great Straits and Mountain Peaks】
世界的に有名な冒険家ロブ・リー氏が、今夏、最も難関とされる津軽海峡の遠泳に成功。これで、世界７海峡を制覇した。彼は既に世界七大陸の最高峰を全て登頂しており、世界最難関の山と海を人類で初めて成功した冒険家となった。彼は３年前にも津軽海峡の遠泳に挑戦している。残念ながら成功しなかったが、その際、私が通訳スタッフとして伴走船に乗った。今回は都合が付かなかった事から、成功の瞬間に立ち会えなかったのが悔やまれる。しかし、最後の砦となった津軽海峡が如何に難しい挑戦かが分かる。それでも諦めず挑戦をし続けてきたリー氏を心から祝福したい。
This past Summer, world-renowned adventurer Rob Lea successfully completed a long-distance swim across the Tsugaru Strait—considered the most challenging of its kind—and has now conquered all seven of the world’s major straits. Having already summited the highest peaks on all seven continents, he has become the first person in history to successfully conquer the world’s most challenging mountains and straits. He had previously attempted to swim across the Tsugaru Strait three years ago. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful that time, but I was on board the support boat as an interpreter. Since I was unable to be with his team this time, I deeply regret not being able to witness the moment of his success. However, I understand just how difficult a challenge the Tsugaru Strait—his final hurdle—truly was. Nevertheless, I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Lea for never giving up and continuing to take on this challenge.
Today my husband, Rob Lea, is making history by swimming the Tsugaru Strait!
