The Big Swim - Day 2 - Thursday 17th March 2011

Mandy swam a massive 15km today and passed through one of the major checkpoints at The Nobbies.  A few curious seals came to check her out but otherwise it was smooth sailing.  She started at Grossard Point and swam anti-clockwise past The Nobbies past the Penguin Parade and towards Pyramid Rock. Again when Mandy was in the open ocean the swell slowed everything down but when she was swimming in protected waters she powered along swimming at a strong 6km / hour. 


Tomorrow the seas are meant to be kinder and Mandy will start off from her finish point from Day 1 and swim towards Pyramid Rock. It is a 12 - 13km swim in the open waters and then all things going well she will head back to Grossard Point to swim towards Cowes.


Again a big congratulations to Mandy for another great effort.
