Hearing rain overnight, I thought it would be a cool start to the day. But several hours later and the sun was making a comeback, although the water temperature wasn’t!
A cool 17.7 greeted swimmers as they arrived….brrrrr!
Coffee before swim, seemed like a good idea
Loved this T-shirt this morning (no idea why on the side!)
The shelter would have been handy if it was raining today.
The Sunday procession kicks off.
I particularly like the passing of the 630 / 7am’ers. Much safer and easier on land than it is in the water.
A friendly smile and a wave from regulars, is rather welcoming (even if I’m not swimming today)
A few cheeky cool waves catching swimmers as they start their swim
More smiles and waves – enjoy the coolness ladies!
No matter if you’ve been away for a day or a month, or six months, everyone is welcoming down at the B&B! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, wherever you may be!
Summer swims are back!

I blame John Bond for holding the thermometer upside down. Something isn’t right and it’s evidently effecting the ocean temps.
On a tenuously related note, it’s pleasing to see the Pacific Challenge map updated so we can follow John’s progress down the western coast of Cape York.

Paul, everything is right! The temperature this morning was perfect. The swim invigorating and energising. I don’t think there was a swimmer that did not enjoy the swim this morning (?).
I too am pleased to see John’s progress into the Gulf of Carpentaria. He needs to be on high alert for saltwater crocodiles though…

Why aren’t you swimming snorkels? Was nice to see you even if not in the water 👍🐳

Yes, Inge, any swim is more fun than no swim.
I was just lulled into enjoying it a week or so ago when it was nearly 3*C warmer. I’m just soft.
