his description of red and white Arabia scarves on his head said: "we are all sunburned and we have poured a lot of water. The weather was very, very hot and the sun was very strong. But the sea was quiet and beautiful. I think we've been swimming about 15-20 kilometers. In order to avoid strong currents, we did not travel straight. "
Croson said it was very difficult to obtain authorization from Egypt and had to sign numerous documents.
there are four Jordanian ships followed by krosson and his team. The French embassy staff greeted the bank on shore. When krishson arrived on the other side, they shouted, "great!"

he will cross the Strait of Gibraltar and cross the cargo ship between Africa and Europe. Finally, Crosson and sahelli will cross the Bering Strait between Asia and North America in August. Although the watercourse is only 10 kilometers, the water temperature is low, close to zero degree Celsius. Kronson hopes to swim 4 kilometers across the total of about 85 kilometers.

Croizon adjusted the TV antenna on the top of the roof in 1994, because the antenna was exposed to an electric shock with a nearby twenty thousand volt high pressure line and burned all over the body and was forced to cut off his limbs. During his stay in hospital, he saw a television documentary about a female swimmer crossing the English channel, thus creating the idea of crossing the Strait. In September 19, 2010, he spent 13 hours and 30 minutes to travel to France, and he successfully crossed the English Channel.
