We both made it across Foveaux!
11 March 2022
Hi Everyone - Thanks for all the support. We had to dig deep as it was a tough swim but the great cause and all the support kept us going. The conditions started well, swimming into a gorgeous sunrise and we both made good progress for the first five hours. Then fog set in, the tide was running in some strange way our local boat pilots hadnt experienced (and not in our favour), the swell and chop increased. About four hours before we finished the fog lifted as did our hearts as we saw land! However the tide was still against us and we had to battle hard. However some dolphins came to swim with Grainne and Susan had a guardian albatross who kept checking in on her. Susan landed first having spent just under 12 hours in the water and Grainne about 30 minutes later.
We are now recovering and enjoying all the wonderful congrats messages and so grateful for all the generous support for the cause. Thanks heaps from the Triple Crown Twins Susan and Grainne
