Paddle (Rotto swim) 8:04:00 20.0 km (24:12 / km)
slept:7.0 shoes: Hat of Patience
I had my own 4:43 challenge today - took John's Dad's snail farm for a float in the ocean and watched 4 swimmers swim for 5min 43 times each.
It was a really fun day, for about 5 hours. Couldn't have had better conditions and the swimmers (all first timers) had a brilliant time. Towards the end it got a bit tedious though, and my back got sore. One of them was very fast, two were moderately fast but couldn't swim in a straight line or follow the ski properly. Vera swam well, and in a straight line, obeyed instructions without being smacked and even coped with having stupid faces made at her every time she breathed.
There was no icecream at the end - only beer, gyrating teenagers and seedy naked englishmen, so I was quite glad to get the ferry home.
