A much smaller group came down to swim today on this absolutely gorgeous, sunny Wednesday morning, around 440 less than yesterday! Ian and I estimated around 170 swam in 20.5 degree water with 2 newbies. A bumpy swim with a few waves and rather murky water. Still awesome! In photo above The Drinks Express enter the water and Booty Campers run in the foreground as the sun rises in our favourite corner.
It’s Jon’s birthday today . A lovely couple, B&B regulars who divide their time between Manly and Hong Kong. Jon and Little Sarah started swimming around the same time as me 6 years ago!
The Women of the Wall appear! We chat about our upcoming Bali Snorkelers Safari trip coming up soon!
Nice to see Eva back for a swim. She returns to Czech Republic in a couple of months time 🙁
Daughter and Dad shot. Suzie and Justus. Justus was instrumental back in SA in getting the first black girl allowed in an all white school. Great guy.
and our adorable Annie!
A slightly challenging swim over to Shelly today…
Happy Birthday to Jon Abbott, 72 years young!

If any one missed the Anzac Day swim yesterday with around 630 swimmers a couple of photos below. Jenny Kent did a magnificent blog though so have a read if you haven’t already.
Some of my fish sightings over the last week below…
Loads of Dusky Whaler sightings lately around The Point

These are Pygmy Leathejackets. I thought they were eating plastic but when I went to grab it it was the remains of a Jellyfish!
Yellowtail, so many around at the moment!
Have a fantastic day folks
Thank you so much for the arch on Sunday for my 2000 km swim!
