You know in that 1940’s movie Pinocchio, how the puppet has to dive into the ocean and face his unspeakable fear of Monstro so he can rescue Mr Geppetto, the one who’s single wish is for Pinocchio to live a real life?
And how after Pinocchio dives in and chokes his demon, Mr Geppetto can be revived and brought to the surface?
Then as a result of this the puppet momentarily loses his rational mind, the strings that controlled him disappear and he awakens to live truly free as a human being…
Yeah, well. That’s just a children’s story.
Right?
I hope you enjoyed your dive into the ocean.

Summer Triple Badge
Please don’t forget our Summer Triple badge this summer! If you can’t make the 6 km distance, or want to warm up for the 6 km swim, why not do a triple Manly-Shelly swim any day and you earn a badge (don’t forget to log it on i-log). Due to popular demand, this year you will be able to earn the Summer Triple as well the 6 km badge.Everyone is eligible for two badges in any combination (triple/6km, 6km/10km, triple/10km), so start training!!

Wot ????
It all sounds like Espresso variations to me
You say Pinocchio, I hear Cappuccino
You say Monstro, I hear Macchiato
You say Geppetto, I hear Ristretto
Pinocchio / Cappuccino
Monstro / Macchiato
Geppetto / Ristretto
Let’s call the whole thing off .
