Big Swim

We did it! A team consisting of my Dad, friends Campbell & Brian, & myself made it - we swam 19.7km in a relay from Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island in WA. We took 8 hrs & 24 minutes and feel right proud of ourselves.
When I can get some pictures that don't show us looking utterly shattered & in cossies, I'll post them.
It was one of the most challenging physical things I've done (apart from having children) and very rewarding. Thankfully (??) the last 1.5 km was against the current and I can safely say it has ensured I will never want to do it again.
Thanks to everyone for your good wishes.
