March 6, 20168

Usually, I’ve prepped the blog ready to go out. But today, I’m just going with the flow!

 

Let’s have a look at the blog photos……

 

 

We turned up to a mysterious mist, looming over Queenscliff.

 

 

Ava brought along a new swimmer, rumours have it that he’s slow so she said she would help out by staying near him on her board.

 

 

DWSS looked, well, a little tired. Is it because he was ‘busy’ at the bear bar at Mardi Gras, or…..

 

 

…..he managed 10km yesterday? Well done Shaun and all the rest that achieved the 10km this season. Remember the badge ceremony is next Sunday.

 

Smiles, all round.

 

 

See what friends do for you on your 40th? While you may be hanging out in Canada, your lovely friends wanted you to enjoy the swim today and brought you along!!

 

We’re off!

 

Just checking, two ears in place.

That pre-swim stretch

Discussing the swim ahead

 

Into the water we go.

 

 

Same time, taken from a different angle…..makes it all look a bit darker.

 

It felt like there were hundreds of people today. Confirmed there were 210 of them.

We headed into the mist filled sea.

But arrived at Shelly in one place.

Elaine pointed out a couple of runners who swapped their trainers for fins today.

 

Lyndall was sporting her famous back. Soon, this back will be beamed across America. It’s famous.

 

 

Discussing tactics for the way back

 

….and let’s not forget swimmers all the way from the Blue Mountains too

    Enjoyable blog! Thought provoking – why is lyndall’s back famous in America? I spent a bit of time avoiding that oranges jelly fish that looks like it eats liposuction by product. And also the occasional big waves. Lots of luderick near the surface. Why
