We did it !
15 December 2015
THANK YOU to all the generous sponsors of my Harbour Crossing Swim. So happy to raise $765 for the Mercy Hospice - was a TOP TOTAL ! Thanks a 1,000,000 everyone.
Weather conditions weren't too bad - maybe a little choppy out in the channel - but after last Wednesday's "Splash & Dash" in Wellington Harbour we were well ready for it !!
Such a BUZZ getting to those steps at the Viaduct.
Great to share the moment with Betty (who has been my #1 supporter for 63 years now ! )
Thanks to Marl & Lee who were there also to congratulate me !

the Viaduct).
I was real happy with my time 1hr 23 mins.
Once I got past the Number 7 'cut off ' buoy in plenty of time - I felt pretty good for the rest of the swim . Made a point of looking to my right & taking a look at the Harbour Bridge - might not get that view point again !!
Shout out to:
* My fellow KTB swimmers (Kathie & Catherine)
for their constant reassurance !
* Scott Rice & the Ocean Swim team for such an exceptionally well run, safe event
* Rebecca Williams @ Mercy Hospice for her encouragement :)
& finally for those who know my record in Spot Prizes .... the trend continues !!!!!! (just sayin)
