On our holiday to the Bay of Islands Jo and the girls swam in the Ocean Swim from Russel to Paihia. The swim was 3.3 km and they successfully completed the event. Kate finished 3rd in her age group and Alice finished 10 th in the non wet suit category. Jo was pleased just to complete it and as a poor swimmer myself I admire their efforts.

After the event we took an exciting jet boat ride around several of the islands.

We were fortunate enough to see many playful dolphins.
This Sunday the girls will be competing in the State Capital Classic. This is from Oriental Bay, Wellington and involves a 3.3 km swim around the lighthouse! I will be there as support crew and a proud dad!

I heard the Bay of Islands is really nice. And well done to Kate for swimming so well.
You didn't tell me Jo and your girls are already entered to do the swim on Sunday...
Good job on the swimming, girls!
We have seen dolphins from far away, but never as many up close as your pictures project...very cool. We saw more whales today though!

Hi Victor
Glad you like my photos! How is Brazil going? We all miss you here!
Just noticed the swim caps - were Jo, Kate and Alice in different wave starts?
My first reaction when I saw the dolphin photos was: "Oh wow!" That is something special to see and something I would not mind seeing one day. That and whales :)
Hi Mr. Paul, Here its all good and I am fine. How are you?
