Jersey Open Water

I used this months gorgeous scrapagogo kit and last weeks sketch on the sketches by Tamara blog.

The journalling reads as follows:
On Sunday 21st September 2008 the very first Jersey Open Water Competition was held at St Catherine’s Bay. Despite how the weather looks in the pictures the sea was very rough. Katherine swam in the Junior 3km race and won by over 10 minutes. Afterwards she described it as ‘like being in a washing machine’. The combination of wind and tide blew them way off course making it much longer than 3km. Because of the weather the senior 5km race was reduced to 3km and Graeme took part in this finishing a very creditable 4th, in the men’s race.
