Hi Dave, I’m impressed by your willingness to swim at such a cold time of year but know it is a very worthy cause to do it for. A great time to celebrate and remember both dear Kate and Jo. I’m sure they would both love the craziness of swimming in icy cold Melbourne seas. It also reminds me of Mimi & swimming at Port Elliot on cold winter days. Love you lots! Em
