Today, the swim was endless and extremely painful. Both of my shoulders are sore. I am very tired. There is this woman in a blue suit. She is as regular as me and she swims for a long time too. Because of her age she is not as fast. Today she talked to me. We have never spoken before but today she told me after I finished my swim: “I am almost done… almost”. It made me laugh, as long distance swimmers, we both know how hard it is to swim for that long. So even though we have not spoken much, we do share some intimacy: the PAIN.

Nils should be back sometimes today. Hopefully he had a great time at Noosa.

    Just got back. It was wet, it was windy, it was grey. It was also very relaxing and good fun. Hours bodysurfing waves and fighting against the current to get out where all the good waves are…I love the beach still. See you when you get here.
