It "sprinkled" and out right rained on and off all day. The wind was gusty, making the windchill 9 deg. C. Not a fine summer day. Colleen and I braved the water for half an hour; the water was warmer than the air.
Today we went to the New Zealand Parliament for the tour. Their system of government makes lots of sense to us. No Upper House and citizens get 2 votes - one for their local representative and one for the party they want in government. We went to see the Dreamworks exhibit about the creation of animated movies like Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda.
No swim tomorrow. We are packing for a Friday a.m. departure (Thursday noon at home) and hoping Philip gives us the go ahead tomorrow night. All my bags are packed, including my angel.
I had one very cold training swim like that in 2014 in Dover harbour with no one else in the water.
ReplyDeleteAnd then . . . 3 days later . . . it dawned with clear-blue sky, flat water, sunny and . . . George Brunstad became the oldest swimmer to cross the Channel.
Wishing you the best of weather.

Marilyn has just passed along the link for the SPOT Tracker on Philip Rush`s boat that they will be using today for her Cook Strait swim.
ReplyDeleteDon`t expect to see any points or traces until they start.
