kaching for the children!

There was so much oil in the sea yesterday that the husband had to scrub me down with degreaser this afternoon. No kidding, it wasn't too pleasant. But other than the unpleasant condition of the seawater this morning, the charity swim this morning went pretty well!

Unlike the other challenges I've taken on this year, I wasn't aiming for anything specific - just to finish. In fact, I thought I'd try to enjoy it instead. And I guess I sort of did.... well, aside from swimming into a plank and getting hit in the head, and getting kicked in the left eye. Oof.

But I am pleased to say that the challenge to raise funds for children's cancer is completed. The fantastic monetary result ended up being a grand total of $3,750, which is just excellent guys. Thank you all, very very much. You have no idea how much this must mean to parents out there who have to face crazy dollar signs to care for their kids. Merci...

Here are some other pictures from the day... Cheers all.
