Anthony Delia has successfully completed a mammoth Sicily to Malta kayak challenge for charity.

The 52-year-old left Sicily at around 1am this morning and arrived in St Paul’s Bay at 5:15pm, a few hours ahead of schedule.

“I feel physically tired but quite well overall,” Anthony told Lovin Malta afterwards. “The weather was fine, my family and friends were supporting me on a boat nearby and we encountered a pod of dolphins on the way to Malta too.”
