My story

 

Well - as you can see by the photo on the left I am all done!

Thank you to all of you who sponsored me and supported me.  As those of you who do this kind of stuff to know it really helps.

The swim itself went without a hitch.  The storms which had shut the bay only the day before passed and despite a strong current and a bit of choppiness there was not much swell to speak of.......thankfully!

I'll take a rest now, draw some breath in (rather than some water from the Bay) and look forward to my next challenge in due course.

Many thanks again.
