Denise persuaded me to take part in the Sorrento OWS for Australia Day. It was 1.25km which was short compared with the 2.5, 5 and 10km options! We both survived despite a lack of sighting buoys; we both went a little too far out but I think Denise won the off course comp after being repeatedly asked by the boats to “head back towards shore”!

I am very pleased to have made it and not panicked too much (even when tickled by a stinger) and am actually looking forward to this weekend’s Olympic distance in Busso.
