No travelling weekend at last??

Good morning crew a weekend at last when travel is not required to have a swim (travel out of Auckland that is). 

Was interesting swimming at Taka last weekend with all the out-riggers being prepared for the round Rangi event on the beach.

Bevan and some other swimmers ventured to buoy 1 on their way out - Nikki, Innes myself and others headed straight to Buoy 2 to avoid getting in the road of the out-riggers.

Was great to see Mark E & Clayton lurking at Buoy 3 on our return from Cable, we all decided the safest exit strategy was to the beach from Buoy 2 to finish our swim.

THE Next swimming event is the:-

For those of uss who aren’t doing the Chelsea swim (Just too damned early on a Sunday for me I’m afraid) we’ll be at Takapuna at 8.00am ish.

If anyone knows of swims happening around the area, i.e. not major sponsored swims let me know so I can circulate.

Some non-swimming news Ian Fenwick (a former regular swimmer, though he will be back!) is appearing in the “Witches of Eastwick” up in Orewa from 10-25 March, playing the role Jack Nicolson made his own in the movie.
