Rylock Swim Series, race 16, March 2, 2023

High tide is a few minutes after 7pm. It’s an astonishingly small low tide (3m), so maybe the current won’t be too strong, although you can never take for granted conditions in the harbour.

Good conditions for tonight’s swim of 1400+m. Hayden Squance and Lilly Claridge furthered their claims to season victory, but Terry Bone chased Hayden all the way, with Lilly coming in third ahead of Marcell Keppess, in his best result yet

Because of the Abel Tasman swim, which starts on Thursday, points and story may be delayed (depends on whether there’s wifi at Awaroa).
