Bugger

We got as far as Hamilton before we got the news that its forecasted 30 knot Northerlies in the Strait tomorrow afternoon.  We're now back in Auckland.

Why Hamilton?  Cheapest flight ex AKL - $386.  Cheapest ex Hamilton $96.  4 people do the math.

The lady swimming today got across in 9.5 hrs.  Temperature range in the Strait was 17 to 14 degrees.

I'm now first in the queue and there is the possibility of a swim on Thursday so watch this space.

  5. Hi Geoff,

    Go man!! Sounds like the temperature is driopping so you'd better sing any bass roles now. Cheers and best of luck for Thursday.
