Summer is here! So time for a dip in the sea to cool off.

Extra bonus is that sharks and Orcas have been seen in the harbour this week, so we may get lucky and be able to swim with these beautiful creatures.

  As I am not comfortable taking responsibility for sending people out in 140 km/hr winds. As a number of people on the event were not here for just tri training.
