22/11/2011 – Rainwater Icing on a Salty Cake

This morning’s blog is very kindly
and creatively written by Stephen Coulter… Love it Stephen, great job, thank you !! 🙂

Congratulations Little Tiger
Today is your day.
Your swimming  Great Places
With 59 others swimming your way!

20.1 and googles on your head
Its warm enough, no wetsuit blues
You can zig zag if you like
Any direction you choose
You’re never alone with the B&B as you know
And you are the girl who knows where to go!

Port Jacksons and wobbies, Look ’em over with care
About stingers you’ll say, “I don’t chose to go there!”
With your head dressed in pink and flippers full of feet
You’re too fast to let waves spoil your daily retreat

Oh, the places you’ll go.  There are swims to be swum
There are badges to be scored and races to be won
And the amazing things that we see with the whole B&B
Will make you the luckiest most social swimmer we see

With the sunrising at 5:40 with high tide 6:09,
7 Balderdashians were racing to be back on time
Sunsets at 7:42 after low tide  12:29
Lots of time for late swims before Manly Wine

(With apologies to Dr Seuss)

A quick, but important thank you to James Goins, Michael Christie and Stephen Coulter for this morning’s happy photos and to James for today’s title, plus also leading the regular 7am swim who were almost joined by dolphins… The dolphins swam from the point to the Bower just as the swimmers left Shelly Beach.

Tim’s fact of the day: “Seahorses swim with their head up and tail down.”
