Yep that right! There’s no title today. Lainey asked me at breakfast what I would be calling the blog today and agreed that sometimes it’s even hard to come up with a title!
We had a cracking 280 swimmers today, of which 18 were new and John Bond confirmed the water temperature as a balmy 21.1 degrees.
The B&B Christmas calendars are on sale! Grab one for yourself, and many more as stocking fillers!
Tonal swimmers told me that they confirmed colour of outfits by text before arriving 🙂
Sterling told me he was listening to “something by Britney Spears” as he was walking down to the swim (The author may or may not have exaggerated parts of this quote for the humorous factor only)
Family pic time!
The water was high today, making for a long swim to the point
Ted’s triangle reported sighting of a large turtle today! Apparently spotted when heading North ‘looking for the shark nets’ – sounds like the Wildlife Warriors party!! Reports state that’s its not one of our usual Cabbage Tree Bay members either 🙂
Shelly beach was crowded with wetsuits diminishing day by day
If you dont want to swim back, how about hitching a ride?
Always a couple of obliging swimmers at Shelly ready for a photo opportunity.
“Back” we go
I spotted at least three catfish today – are the numbers of them increasing ? Time of year for them ?

Summer Badge focus
Summer Swims 6k and 10k. The 6k swims run on any Saturday during summer from December to February. There is only one 10k swim in each of the months of December, February and March (not in January). The proposed date for the first 10k swim is Saturday 10th December 2016.

If conditions are good on Sat, Storchy and I will be doing an early (5.45), steady, slow 6K. Why not join me on Wed for an early bolderdash to see if our pace would work for you? Text me if interested: 0449141360 or fb: sarahprocterabbott
