One Ocean Swim Day 30

Day 30 – another early start for us and our last swim for a while! We travelled back to the PE harbour, and this time we were lucky that we did not have to wait to be let in, so we got going around 6:30 am on a clear, calm and flat sea with the sun shining brightly...

Day 29 was another rest day. Yesterday was, thankfully, a productive day. We headed to Port Alfred school to give a talk to both the high school and junior school. It was great. I love seeing young kids so intrigued and involved in conversations. They are our future...

Wow, what a Day 28! I woke up after a restless night’s sleep. Everything is aching. I can’t lie on the right side of my body for very long as my shoulder and elbow ache. On my left-hand side, my hip aches. I also have lower backaches. I was dreading the swim today, as...

Day 27 – completed! We set off from the harbour just after 6:30 am today with Kim’s daughter Jasmine and Kim’s Dad (Mike) joining us. It was very chilly as a cold front throughout the country was coming, with snow expected in some places. The wind wasn’t predicted,...

There is another day of swimming. Sadly, I had a very restless sleep due to shoulder pain, overthinking, overheating and just being anxious about the early wake-up. It was the longest short night, and eventually, we work up at 3:15 am and set out to action. First was...

Day 15 arrived, and we had another slightly later start. We left our venue at 6 am, which was a welcomed change, as we had to pack everything again to move to our next destination at Coffee Bay. The challenge we have been facing in the Transkei is; trying to keep our...

One Ocean Swim Day 12

Day 12 was a super early start. We woke up at 3 am to pack the trailer, fridge and freezer stuff and head out to launch from Port Edward. We wanted to try to get a big day of swimming in as our next stop is in Port St Johns, which is 100km away. We arrived at Port...
