    What time did you do it in? What do you mean about blue tug boat? Did ned give his big speech at start? I think he fell asleep in a green house, the bloody height of him...

    You doing the Sandycove Kinsale swim?

    the exit point was just above where a blue tug was berthed, but the current was pushing you down past it

    i did it in about 45 minutes. i should have taken a tighter line at the start but i got there anyway even if the speedies were already dressed when i got in

    Niall O Crualaoich did the safety talk as he's the organiser

    really great swim, very enjoyable and pretty unique really (in this country at least)

    i'm registered for Sandycove Challenge alright, had a horrible time there last year so hoping to set the record straight !!
