Well it must be jolly cold, as you are the toughest out there when it comes to coping with cold water. I'm so sorry you didn't get the whole way across, but think you have done an absolutely amazing thing for even getting to the point where you gave it a go, let alone getting half way through. Well done Geoff!
Shit, poos and weese!!! What a buggar. But 7 hrs or so in the autumn water off Wellington would do anyone in. Great effort though. OPn the bright side, next time you try it you'll be even older and set an even harder record. All the best. David Lee
Geoff you must feel terribly disappointed right now. When you've warmed up and had time to reflect hopefully you will take heart in the inspiration you've been for many of us. Despite not completing the task at hand this time around you've stayed 'race ready' for so many months. This in itself is possibly a greater achievement than the crossing itself. Un chapeau Geoff, we're incredibly proud of you.
An amazing effort Geoff. 7hrs swimming in the Cook Strait is an incredible achievement. Now you're back in the boat are you going to fit in some fishing??? Austin & Shaun
Helen A and I back on the phone again. Helen A ready and rearing to go to continue training with you through the winter for next seasons attempt! On the bright side, you don't need to be race ready again until November!? Lots of red wine, well done. See you seaside.
Fantastic effort,you are an inspiration to all of us coming up to that 60th birthday. It is often how we do something not what we achieve that is more important. Your awesome!!!! Lynda and Lloyd
It must have been freeeeezing Geoff!!! So sad to read that you had to cancel only due to the temperature, that's a big bugger! You already have done an amazing achievement today, you are a hero!! See you soon somewhere. Frank
so sorry to read this. I have thought of another attempt and you doing this is brilliant. would take me years to get into shape. see you some 40+ weeks from now. race you[kidding]. love your efforts, so very many regards and good wishes. regards allan vincent.

Bloody good effort Geoff, hope you're well warmed up by now - enjoy a good red wine tonite and hearty meal of YOUR choice.
