an ocean swim

And another one down ... Christie and Chris, swam this time ... from long island (palm bay) to shute harbour - a total of 8.8kms ... in 2hrs 8mins ... a short swim for them compared to others but joining them, and totally inspirational to watch, was 11 year old, Olivia! What an incredible feat of endurance and such focus by her ... congratulations to them all.
This time, I was off the main boat and the kayaker instead. Looks easy!? man, its tough :) my feet could barely reach the rudder pedals and we couldnt figure out how to adjust them, so it was a fight for most of the way to keep it upright and prevent it from heading straight on top of the swimmers where the waves kept trying to force me to go - I think I was more concerend about them being zapped by the shark zapperer :D - oh what a LOAD OF FUN!!!!!
Inspirational to witness and fantastic to be a part of ...     photos
