A FRENCHMAN who lost his limbs in an electrical accident swam from Papua New Guinea to Indonesia in strong winds and currents today, finishing the first stretch in a mission to swim between five continents.

Philippe Croizon, 43, who swam the English Channel in 2010, left Papua New Guinea's fishing village of Wutung in the early morning to begin what he has billed as the Oceania-Asia stretch of his challenge.

After swimming 20km over almost eight hours, he arrived at 1pm local time (2pm AEST) in the village of Pasar Skow in Indonesia's Papua province, which shares a border with Papua New Guinea.

"It was very, very hard," Croizon told AFP trying to catch his breath on the grey and black beach lined with coconut trees in Pasar Skow.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
