Background
On 2nd January, 2012 I set out to swim my Triangle. It would
be the 4th Rangitoto Island return swim in as many weeks. 
Except this swim was longer, I added Brown's Island to the
return route. I was still a novice and slow swimmer,
but now fearless. The Swim took me a total of 6hrs including

the rest stops on Rangi and Brown's Islands. Sadly, its the last long
swim 
I would do. Most of you will do this swim in half the time it took me.

So far as I know, there is no recorded written or verbal account of 
anyone having done this Swim. 

I now invite you to take the challenge and swim
my Triangle 
and add your name to the List.
