I dagens avsnitt har vi lyckats få en pratstund med kommande förbundschefen för svensk simning - Henrik Nöbbelin. Hur tänker han såhär två månader innan han faktiskt börjar i rollen, vad är hans kryptonit för att lyckas i ledarskapet, varför behåll han tipset om jobbet för sig själv? vilka lärdomar tar han med sig från sin erfarenhet inom idrott, skola och aktiv karriär, vad är prio nr 1 när han börjar, bredd, elit, och allt däremellen - hur balanserar man det? hur får man ungdom att gå från skärm till bassäng? hur hanterar man de höga förväntningarna på rollen?...

This is what it is like to sail an ocean alone. Not the world-girdling marathon of the Southern Ocean racers or the “cruise in company” as part of a trade-wind rally, but what it is really like to set off for 3,496 miles from the British Virgin Islands to Falmouth in the UK, totally alone. That means no contact with the shore, no high-frequency radio or satphone. No weather forecasts, no texts from loved ones. No news…Just complete and uninterrupted isolation for 44 days. In other words, this is singlehanded ocean sailing at its purest: One man in a world shrunk to its bare essentials.

Well, I thought for sure this was it. I was going to die. Almost out of water in the middle of the wilderness. Rabbit food for sustenance which is all my vegan sister had packed. No trail map. Not certain we were even ON a trail. No cell phone service. No first aid kit and all three of us were bleeding from at least one wound. A minimum of an hour trek back through a JUNGLE to get to our kayaks. And then of course the kayak trip back to the primitive campground on a deserted island. My blood sugar level was in the basement. I felt like i was about to keel over. I was a goner. Why had I let ...

Imagine Le Krak des Cehvaliers, a huge crusader castle, and the oasis of Palmyra, before the uprising and before they were vandalized, nearly destroyed.
