Rottnest Channel Swim 2008

After the swim was cancelled last year everyone hoped that this wouldn't happen again this year even thought the weather forecast wasn't ideal. But the conditions turned out to be alright and the boys finished the 20km in 7h49min. And since they've done this already together twice they looked surprisingly fit when they came out of the water. We all stayed on the boat that night and celebrated with a BBQ.

It was really amazing to see the number of boats anchored at the bay that night! And since we stayed on the boat we could see the queue of boats all lined up coming over from Cottesloe accompanying the 1700 swimmers (solo, due and team of fours) in the morning.
This years team name was 'The Eight Balls' - just like the black ball for playing pool and because it is 2008 and because they are a team of 4 guys with 8.... ;-)
