The Duskies are back! Visibility not so good today (pic taken a few days ago). First day of Feb, lots of swimmers, warm air temp and water temp (21) rippy and bouncy swim but exciting!
Lots of great cozzies! Here are the Manmaids and Mermaids wearing theirs! Don’t they look great?! Even though in silhouette they all look the same shade of brown too! Maybe they all go to the same Spray Tanner 😉
At Shelly beach and Andre insists I get in the pic!
Roz in the middle celebrated her birthday with a swim today 🙂
Our lovely welcoming committee, Simone and Sally with Robbie in the middle.

Duskies are back! I did spot one today but took this one on Saturday when clearer
The above were my only 2 underwater shots from today as the viz had gone down. Some people saw a Grey Nurse though! Stars and Stripes Pufferfish above
I was very lucky to swim with this beautiful Turtle on Sunday morning. I think he is the one who was rescued twice and tagged twice and they call Brownie!
Cuttlefish yesterday out from tall palm tree
This is the tale of the wobbegong and the frisbee. He was freed by Sea Life Sydney aquarium!
Thank you again to everyone who baked, bought or helped with the Careflight Cake Stall last Wednesday. A wopping $2800 was raised with more money raised from the sale of these swimmers above and the Cole Classic. See Drinksy for swimmers!
Brendan got in the paper for his Turtle rescue with the breadknife!
Thanks Tim Ettle!
You can still enter the Cole Classic or volunteer!

B&B monthly dinner – 8th February 2022
The first B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 8th February at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Join us for a fascinating story about the restoration of the marine environment and biodiversity, specifically the project “Living Seawalls” undertaken at the Fairy Bower pool.
The talk by Dr Melanie Bishop, the project leader of Living Seawalls, will discuss the almost 50% loss of biodiversity due to marine construction and the shorelines being replaced with hardened seawalls.
The Living Seawalls project is reviving marine life with twelve locations around Sydney Harbour and hopefully many more to come.
The cost of the dinner is great value at only $30 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each (please note, NO BYO). Bookings are essential, so to avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book HERE.
Have a great day
