Our tide window opened today but unfortunately the weather isn't good enough for us to get in the water. I'm told that there are 20-30 knot winds in Cook Strait right now despite the fact that the rest of the country is enjoying great weather. That also means that there will be no swim tomorrow (Thursday) either. So we are remaining in Auckland and talking with Philip Rush everyday by phone.

When the big day happens my long suffering wife Siobhan will be keeping everyone up to date with our progress on this blog so click on the JOIN THIS SITE button if you'd like to get the updates.
