I just hope this was a miscommunication kind of thing and not a deliberate attempt to mislead. <BR/><BR/>As for your story, it's just another way to enhance your legend my friend! ;)kungfujedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724706652959523509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-76278870953987653672009-02-13T10:41:00.000-06:002009-02-13T10:41:00.000-06:00When I saw the video on the net of her swimming in...When I saw the video on the net of her swimming into a net pulled by a sailing/motor boat, I kinda thought, mmm in such a short time, across the atlantic, must have been dragged allthe way by the boat. Now the news seems really worse. A pity.<BR/>I think journalist have there responsibilty for such things ! Most of them forgot that they have to look for info, research it, etc...<BR/>Instead we're in a world of copy-paste from blog or sites, having deadlines to find info in quantity and not quality. A pity !<BR/><BR/>One of the articles written about my desert trek in a local newspaper wrote i had been bitten by a wild camel, which never happened, which I never said. Some journalist have a lot of imagination (journalist=imagination??? WTF) or try find something spectacular to write. I just hope the public has still some common sense: being bitten by a wild camel, with nobody around, in the heat of the day, with limited supplies of water... I believe in that case you just don't play the hero and continue, you call for help!LP Lonckehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368796747672512852noreply@blogger.com
