Oh the Slithergardee has come out of the sea...
He may catch all the others, but he won't catch me!
No, you won't catch me, you old Slithergardee...
You may catch all the others, but you won't (chomp)
Good thing this chap didn't show up on Thursday when we had eleven swimmers on the Island swim, and a host of support boats!
Mermaids, forts, and monsters all suddenly appeared on the beach... with a little assistance from Bre, Zach, Bryce, Hugh, Eamon, Sasha and no doubt a few others. I'd name Lloyd, but he tells me that while he started one, the kids soon shifted him off to one side, so he settled into a deck chair and just let them get on.
We always emphasize that the Marathon Swim is NOT a race, that people should swim at their own pace.
Jane, in one of the support canoes, commented that her brother can 'swim forever' -- All the same, we're wondering if the sea monster had put in an appearance, would any of the swimmers have picked up the pace???
