It's Summer in New Zealand and the Water Looks Great!

I have a friend -- we'll call him John -- who lives in Takapuna, Auckland, New Zealand where the weather forcast for today is sunny and 75 degrees. I had recently told my "friend" John of the cold-spell we were having in New York -- well, good "friend" that John is, I promptly received these three pictures taken when he "went flying with a friend in his helicopter last week. Couldn’t see any snow. This is all 15 minutes flying time from where we live".

Thanks John, I don't see any snow either but I do see what looks like some great Open Water Swim locations. Anybody up for a trip to New Zealand?
