20 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
5 swimmers braved the Bolderdash this morning. It was choppy az, we had more water falling on us than we were swimming in and up at North Steyne we couldn’t see in front of ourselves… Wish you were there !? Yeh I bet. It was sooo much nicer than sleeping all snuggled up in a nice warm bed.
The Shelly swim was much more civilised with the water remarkably calm, especially in comparison to yesterday. Plus a nice bonus group hug off the point 🙂
Not sure if the oober early guys swam, hope they’re not still out there… ?? 😉
Tony Box can be seen below enjoying a well earned rest after his big 4.5km swim in weather that can only be said is good for ducks.
The skies may well be similar tomorrow, but the sea should be magic for a swim with southerly swells and winds. Come on down… you know you never regret it once it’s over 😉
Tim’s fact of the day: “Walrus’ have balloons in their neck that fill up with air and keep their head above water while they sleep.”
Congratulations to Simon Eddy who completed the Canberra half ironman yesterday.

We are safe and sound…
A quick SMS discussion at 5am this morning turned the “distance demons” into “doona demons”!!
And very welcoming the doona was too!

It was good to see Tony brightening up the landscape!!
I’m glad they didn’t catch him doing his Yoga in the wash. That really WOULD have created some comment.

Just talked with James, 5:25am tmrow for Freshie, and he wants to get into the rockpool there to do “a couple of 50m sprints” and then back to the club by 7:00 for Shelly swim.

I am in. James can do a dozen or so 50m sprints while he’s waiting for me to get there.
PS early call for Curly to Manly before the Adventure Swim on Sunday. Meet at Sth Curly carpark at 5,30?
