Rotto Bloggo spake, and it was thus: a flood of Rottnest Channel Swim stories today.
Everyone on Facebook is complaining about the weather. Not so bad on the beautiful island, of course: humidity was at 92 per cent a little while ago, but the max temp was only about 27 degrees (at 11.30am).
The water would have been a good place to be. But alas the triple crossing attempt by Chloe McCardel was abandoned 'cos of tough times.
'The 23-year-old open water swimmer was just 5km from Rottnest Island, near the end of the second crossing of the channel, when 25 to 35 knot winds and strong currents made the feat impossible.'
WA Today have a nice story of a woman who did the crossing last year in nearly 12 hours: Ginger Nuts helped her through.
In fact WA Today have lots of Swim stories: they are a naming sponsor, fo' shizzle.
I thought the pic was a piece of abstract art; seagulls and stormy Rotto skies!
