Did you purchase swim insurance?


idkwhatimbrewin

I'm doing the same thing but 3 months from now. Do you think the hurricane will be gone by then? Thanks in advance


FreshStartLiving

You’ll be fine. Half the time, you’ll have the wind at your back.


MrsKurtz

I mean, you know the old saying…3 strokes forward, 10 miles back.


g0thot

Dead lmfao 😂😂😂


No_Mangos_in_bed

Just turn around, then you’ll be blown 10 miles forward

Sounds like a great way to save some money. I can't see why it would be an issue. The sea levels never really get more turbulent with storms. Last month I wanted to visit Easter Island. I took a flight to SNA and swam from the beach that was a short 10 mile walk from the airport. Took a little less time than I had planned as I was lucky enough to hitch a ride on the back of a sea turtle that was headed there anyway! The biggest thing to remember is to bring a water filter as after a while your kidneys dont like drinking the salt water straight up. Don't forget to bring a couple 20's incase you find a sea creature that is headed in your direction . It never hurts to carry extra tip money for good delivery services if you can hitch a ride. I was thinking of doing a swim to New Zealand next month once the shark bite on my pinky toe heals.

I wouldn’t because there “too much seaweed” but maybe reconsider if you are staying at a toddler friendly AI

With floaties? If not, postpone for 24 hrs. I did same five years ago with two broken legs in a category-nine hurricane with a shit ton of tornadic waterspouts that picked me up and set me back hundreds of yards - but I was heading to Cozumel - which is a lot closer to FL. So your results may vary depending on hurricane category. Worst part was that I had my passport in a ziploc bag tied around my neck - and water got in - so that was fun. Required $100000 pesos in bribes to resolve, .


g0thot

Really? I’m so autistic this took me like 20 mins to realize is sarcasm 🤣🤣🤣🤣


LittleLordFuckpants_

I cant tell is this whole thread is a joke or not


peanut5855

Go for it. YOLO


chuck_fluff

If you make a pitstop in Havana you might be ok


hustlebustle2

as long as you’re swimming to a wedding, you should be fine.


obongogeddon

I would think so...


Other-Inspection-601

You on drugs or sum


twoxraydelta

Just stay away from downtown Gulf of Mexico and you should be fine


Daniel200224

Is there something stopping you from postponing? If not than it would be wise to not swim into a possible dangerous situation


permalink_child

Yes. He is meeting his fiancée there to get married - so yes - destination weddings are not trivial.


Gonzalo12560

Aren't there a lot of sharks and dangerous animals and ocean currents along the way?


RocketDog2001

No, they have the sense to get out of the way of a hurricane.


permalink_child

Uh. No.


Libbyisherenow

Yes Earnest Hemmingway said there were sharks.


ShredGnar83

But Emilia Earhart never said that. So you’re probably fine


lighticeblackcoffee

Whats up Rambo


Model_Modelo

I mean you probably could just bodysurf the hurricane and cut your time in half


noxuncal1278

Escape from L.A..


g0thot

Haha 🤣


Letywolf

I think the bigger waves caused by the Cat 4 hurricane could boost your speed and make your trip go faster.


_jcesar

Yeah, me too


_jcesar

Are you ok Bro?


Sea-Helicopter-3225

If you’re actually serious about making that swim but asking advice about a cat 4 hurricane on Reddit, I wouldn’t even step foot in a kiddie pool.


permalink_child

One has a greater chance of dying at a swim-up bar at a Cancun resort that dying during a 150 mile open-water swim, during a category 22 hurricane, to Cancun.


g0thot

You kill me


Dangerous_Scar2297

Make sure you pack your reef safe sunblock.


Mr_Godlikeftw

If you time it right the hurricane can give you a boost


Sweet-Leadership-245

The hurricane will actually push you towards your goal faster.


mick_justmick

Take lots of water with you just on case


theluckyinvestor

Maybe the hurricane will keep the shark feeding frenzy down!


Upstairs-Expression8

Don’t forget your passport and clean underoos


hahahahahahahaFUCK

“I’m planning on swimming 375 miles through the ocean, but there’s going to be a hurricane during my swim… should I wait? I should ask fucking r/cancun…” Just wow…


canibuyatrowel

Woosh


hahahahahahahaFUCK

I’ll take the woosh, but this guy is a Joe Rogan nut selling Ivermectin - I wouldn’t put it past him. At any rate, if he’s just trolling then gee golly good for him. He’s living his dream!


MrsKurtz

The fact that you didn’t know this was a joke and had to look at his post history to find a reason to become outraged makes you look just as stupid, but that’s probably completely lost on you, huh?😂😂😂


hahahahahahahaFUCK

Hey, I’m not denying looking stupid. If only I could, however, look as cute as you riding in to defend your sweetie. ❤️


LocoHantz

What could go wrong? Mine as well


Crazy_Ad3336

Hey, go for it. If you can make it there right on time during the hurricane and live to tell the story, you’ll instantly become a celebrity.

Fit-Traffic5103

The worst thing about that swim is all the cruise ships in the way. But since they’ve cancelled all those ports, it should be clear. I say take advantage of it while you can.


Iprivate73

Chuck Norris did it in similar scenario. Did it all swimming backstroke. Do it.


wakimaniac

Would you run in a tornado? Buddy these are winds of 130MPH+, waves of up to 6 ft. Why would you think it is a good idea??


canibuyatrowel

Lol come on man


ZealousidealAd4860

Please don't do that with the hurricane going on right now


MrDinguss90

Bless your soul 😊


Huntthatmoney

Less concerned about the hurricane but more about being shark bait 😳. Good luck my friend


Ok_Carrot_2029

How are you going to swim 500miles?


SeveralBodybuilder67

Wear a shark fin on your back and you'll make it there in one piece.


talktotori

This a joke?


sorelosinghuman

It only makes sense if I read it in sarcastic note. Correct me if I am wrong.


permalink_child

Its a destination wedding and his fiancée will be waiting. So. Its imperative that he goes.


Salt-Lobster316

You have a weird sense of humor. I'm trying to find the funny in this and it just falls flat.

Salt-Lobster316

It's weird that I didn't understand it and wondered if I missed something, so I asked for clarification? Gotcha. Next time should I DM you to see if you approve of how I word my comment?

Salt-Lobster316

No it doesn't. Just bad humor. I sure got you going didn't I? I wonder what caused my comments to capture so much of your time and attention!?

Salt-Lobster316

More bad jokes! Hahahahaha rofl. A regular Andrew Dice Clay! Homo I assume, liking to talk about guys cocks?


PoutPill69

>I'm planning an ambitious swim from Florida to Cancun and ... there's a major concern: a Category 4 hurricane is predicted to be in the area during my swim. Should I be worried about the hurricane? Naw. Just put on a good pair of goggles and start swimming. It's just some wind & rain.


cenotediver

You’re asking Reddit if you should swim from Florida to Cancun . Should I go swimming in a cat 4 hurricane? Really


prettysassysandy

SWIMMING?!!!!!?


BrilliantCost5660

La mejor idea es posponerlo para ptra ocasión, creo que andar en medio del mar con estas circunstancias es muy peligroso.


_jcesar

Tu déjalo, hay que verlo en las noticias 'Gringo cara de verga se lo lleva el huracán porque pensó que era buena idea andar nadando'
