Our gorgeous Head of Emergency Dr had a birthday today, a very big birthday! Happy Birthday Michele, 60 years young… looking fit and fab and saving lives and helping people every day. You’re incredible and we wish you the happiest of birthdays!
A beautiful morning, much smaller group and a warning about possible bluebottles after Martin (the Danish one) came back with a stung arm. Most early swimmers didn’t see any though. We were all happy with the 24.4 degree water temp recorded on the board…
Roz found Michele a card that read ‘Bold, Beautiful and Brainy’. That’s Dr Mich alright, although throw in a bit of ‘Zaney’ too!
There were a few crashing waves as we went in so I took the opportunity to get the odd crazy shot. Thanks Gunar, Richard and Marco 🙂
There was a time I knew all your names but not anymore!
This is Rob though who is our Swimmer of the Year (see bottom of blog)
Nice to see an old face Sabine, here with Uncle Jeff 😉

We make our way to Shelly through quite a big swell. We wake up the neighbours singing Happy Birthday to Michele. I ask her to keep her eyes open but as you can see it’s hard when you’re being splashed!
Indie and Emily at Shelly
Sophie’s 11 year old daughter Indie swam all the way today with her friend Emily. Well done girls!
Russian Kate is always full of joie de vivre! She hadn’t swam in the ocean before arriving here a few months ago, look at her now!
Bluewater birthday group!
Please pick up hair bands when you see them folks. Bibiana took this photo of a Shovel Nosed Shark off Shelly…
Have a great day, sorry for late blog
