Geez....6 degrees out...with a cooling westerly breeze....apparent temp. 4 degrees reportedly....Those two big sluggo' models who got out before us (Judy...you know the gents)..took a water temp of 12.4 degrees....and told Dave where to shove his reading....hahahahaha. IDIOTS ! Bravo to all the brave souls...Dave U, Dave S. and Ed (our best wishes to your Mum/grand-ma guys), Bevan,Chris & of course Sutho chasing up the rear...who then took off for another kilometre swim without us...
