WRECK2REEF

WHOOPS - wrote this on the 12 th and forgot to post it

 ON SATURDAY the annual Wreck2Reef was held at Indented Head.   The Salty Bitches first ever pole swim (600m) was held as a part of it, all welcome.   Sunny and Etta were down for the weekend and the weather was perfect, as it had been all week.  Warm sun, mild temperatures and beautiful calm clear water to swim in.

my first Ikm swim

house

Last week i decided to train by swimming along the shore. It proved a good idea, swimming past the picnic table, the boat, unusual trees, boathouses proved to be incentives, each day i would swim on to one more thing and by friday i swam from the Yacht Club to the pier, my goal to work towards for the end of the year.   and now I've done it already - 1.3km.   So i was well prepared for the 600m on Saturday. It was a terrific day, a lot of WOWs came over from Torquay, there were masses of people on the shore.    The Salties swim was really well supported and we were pretty chuffed with the whole day.

came home to make a big yummy late afternoon bbq lunch.  Sunny and Etta stayed for two nights, Etta's such a little dynamo, running running all day long, busy doing things and kepping us busy too.  the water here is perfect for her and the vacant lot across the road is a good playground too.
