Across The Heads Swim 12th February




Across the Heads Swim Sydney - North Head to South Head
(Quarantine beach to Camp Cove about 4k)

"Nothing great is easy !"
(Matthew Webb)
Today's swim was a great challenge
A little scary riding over in the boat from Watsons Bay to Manly and getting a good look at the wind and waves on the course before the swim
And the aforementioned big swell, losing sight of the landmarks, patches of unfamiliar stingers, DEEEP green water most of the way, and into a tide that was starting to turn against us the last little bit
Mentally that was a tough swim today
And that's the way it should be
Well done and thanks B&B and all the friendly helpers for putting it all together
