Athlete circumnavigates La Gomera - swimming !

Gomeran tri-athlete Libertad Ramos is well underway to complete his circumnavigation of the island. He started out from San Sebastian De La Gomera on Tuesday, June 18th 2013, swimming to the southern town of Playa Santiago on the first leg of the long swim. Yesterday he reached Vallehermoso on the northern coast, completing the fourth stage on schedule despite the adverse weather conditions which saw him battling strong winds and high waves. He now only has two more difficult stages to complete to become the first person to accomplish the feat of swimming around all of La Gomera' s coastline.
