15/07/2013 – The Blog that loves a good swim in the rain

15/07/201316

I do love these beautiful Australian beachy mornings


Finally a day that actually looks like winter!


So if you got out of warm bed this morning to jump into the cold ocean, well done!


Lesley getting some advice from the girls before the swim. Apparently Wed blog should be quite entertaining…..watch this space…


Brenton gives us a master class in the benefits of smearing Yak fat all over your body pre swim.


This is a picture of Emer photobombing a standard Lesley picture.


John Bond finally found someone who believes his temperature recordings (18.1? Yeh right!)

 

Derek tried out the new ribbed swimming cap, apparently it increases your swimming pleasure. Bella didnt seem impressed. The statue wasnt impressed either!


Monday’s are clearly hardcore, as there seems to be as many without wetsuits as with!

It did brighten up just as we entered the water


Some needed a bit of coaxing to get in from the looks of it though


At Shelly, there was considerable discussion about a very large Ray sighting


Sue pointed the way, RAY OVER THERE!!


I just managed to capture a quick shot of it.


I also caught a beautiful shot of two of B&B’s finest…

Congrats to all those who qualified today for both the Winter badge & the Winter without wetsuit badge, one of which is Lyndon below..snorkle and all!

 

Keep swimming and smiling,

Robster the Blogster

    Thanks for noticing!
    I thought that as the Tour cyclists occasionally get a rest day, I should too. Lips promptly went on strike. It won’t happen again.
    Glad to see reserve blog-tarts, Brenton & Derek, stepped up…. the yak fat works every time!

    Lesley seems to pop up in the blog quite often. Think she is trying to steal your title LSA and lips 😉

    No, a friend of mine from school

    Yes, she’ll make the spreddie next year and that’s no mean feat! Emer’s becoming something of a blog-bomb-tart too:-)
    Glad Laura & Jasmine are giving advice to the Wed blogger. Sorry to let you down today, girls…see you tomorrow! And Aly….next Sunday, do hope you make it:-)

    Pretty sure my blog is the glue that keeps B&B together

    LSA, see what happens if we skip a swim?
    I’d like to apologize to all readers for the lack of LSA & Lips footage in today’s blog. As if Monday’s blog wasn’t hard enough to stomach already..
