    • Introduction to finding a skipper and support boat

      Alina

      Finding a skipper and boat can be a challenging part of organising your swim, but don’t give up!

      We have a “Port to Pub Supporters page” on Facebook where you can advertise for skippers and boats (and other needs). This is a good place to start. You can also post here, on this forum.

      There are many skippers out there who would be (and are!) eager to get involved in Port to Pub. Many of them have previous ocean race experience. Some do not, but are still great because of their enthusiasm and knowledge — don’t worry if this is a Port to Pub first-timer!

      Be careful of any skippers who try to charge exorbitant prices (over $1500). Costs should be fair to cover time, effort, fuel, and maintenance. If you are paying a skipper you do not know it is EXTREMELY important that you meet with them a number of times, make sure they get to know you, your style of swimming and any medical history.

      The skipper is also required to attend an event briefing, familiarise themselves with the event rules, understand the signs and symptoms of hypothermia and pulmonary oedema, and possess a working radio.

      More information and emails will be provided to skippers ahead of the event, and any questions can be sent to [email protected].

    • Window Cleaning Safety – How Do You Tackle Hard-to-Reach Windows? 🪟⚠️

      Raul Martin

      Hey everyone! 👋

      Quick question for those of you who have hard-to-reach windows or windows that are higher up: How do you safely clean them? I’ve been thinking a lot about safety when it comes to cleaning windows—especially those second-story or even third-story windows. I’m not afraid of a ladder, but I’ve definitely had some close calls! 😬

      I’ve seen those telescoping squeegees and window cleaning poles, but I’m not always convinced they’re enough to do the job properly. And hiring professionals to handle high windows is definitely something I’m considering, but I’m curious: When should you draw the line between DIY and calling in professionals to handle the height and potential hazards?

      For anyone who’s hired Professional window cleaning delaware, do they handle high windows with specialized equipment or techniques? Is it a safer, more efficient option than doing it yourself?

      Looking forward to hearing your tips for cleaning safely and making sure you don’t end up on a ladder for hours (or worse, falling off!). 🤞
