Another glorious morning with 1.2ft swell from the east nor east at 9 second intervals with a NNW-NE 5knot zephyr of a wind. A small amount of chop for the home leg. The cold temps of yesterday have given way by 3 degrees and warmed again to 21 degrees with a joyous 35 degrees expected air temps today, making the cool off this morning was well worth the effort. Be aware the rest of the week will see a swell rise to 4-5 ft by Thursday according to the forecasters.
And now for the daily update though the temps were slow in the update but read in 21 degrees.
Lesley and John consulting on the app link change. For those wondering what to do the new link is shown on the board above.

After a few days of nor easterly winds, the 7am crew steeling for the 6:30 Jimbal report.
I think Steve only saw 1. No correction Steve managed a first back with the 6:30 Sprint crew. Patrick confirmed the claim.
No Jimbals sighted.
Glassy conditions despite the nor easter
Relief at the increase in water temps.
Tropical temps and lots of Taylor for the Duskies.
And even a Christmas tree in Seaweed. Time to Christmas up people it’s December.
Some Christmas green even in the suits
So don’t forget it’s the first of December so 24 sleeps to Christmas so get your lights up and you’re spirit charged.
Have a great week.
Brian

Hi
If one of the swimmers picked up my wetsuit goggles and pink cap and hung them on the first hook THANK YOU
If it was someone else thank you as well -just that they are unlikely to see this message
I have discovered that the cold feeling I endure these days is not changed by a wetsuit anyway but feels nice and supportive

You just have to dive down deep and get quite close… but make sure nobody thinks you have drowned and sends out a $15,000 rescue operation :-)!!!
