After three days of strong north winds, Ray was finally able to resume the swim challenge today, Monday 16th September.

Weather and sea conditions were perfect.

From Nikotsara to Pounta tip = 8.7 km
Time taken: 4 hours, 10 minutes
Wind Direction: N/E 2 Beaufort
Total Arm Strokes: 6,615
Total Leg Kicks: 26,460
Calories Burnt: 5,717

Ray felt like he could have completed the swim today, but it would have meant that I (Jacqui) wouldn't be there for the finish due to work commitments, and our helpers had all been arranged for tomorrow to walk along the harbour and Bourtzi beside Ray as he swims, rattling our collection buckets. So he called it day, with a relatively easy (!) two hour session left for the big finish.
