Hannah Morgan cuddles up to her mother, Jane, at the Bluff Ferry Terminal after completing her swim across Foveaux Strait. She was adamant she would not swim the strait again as it was ''something that I have ticked off''. John van Leeuwen was the first person to cross the strait in 1963 in a time of 13 hours, 36 minutes.
