The film crew was out early today to see the recovery after the “Great
Gatsby Ball”
Brilliant colours
Ian and John early as always
Another early starter
What a sunrise!
Here they come
John and friend recovered from the ball
Ted looking cool
Warming up
Simon signing up a new swimmer
Ian welcoming the new swimmer
A whole bunch of swimmers
Chris on his bike again, sorry I couldn’t do the double with you today,
maybe tomorrow?
Did they actually go home after the ball?
I don’t know how they do it!
They were all at the ball but still made it!
And into the water
A couple of late comers
Fifi was even later!
Almost the first back
Here they come!
Oh for a hot shower
Well a hot water bottle will have to do
The sign just happened to be there but what a smile
Smiles all around
And the film crew captured it all, looking forward to the documentary!

Great blog Joe! I didn’t make it to the swim this morning, and am in awe of those great folk who managed to get there after the ball last night. Nice to see the photos of everyone looking so fresh!

Hi everyone, I found a black rubber fin today near the point. I left it behind because there was an octopus hidding inside. I thought it would be good to let you know in case someone finds it again and decides to bring it to shore, just double check if our friend is gone! You never know what a lost fin can hide! Cheers

Super blog, Joe! Thanks for stepping in to help us all.
Special thanks to Storchy too for keeping me company on the beautiful swim, understanding how lonely I’d be on my own:-)
Sky, so glad I found you washed up at Shelly in time to celebrate your special birthday!

Thanks Joe for a great blog and piccys, great to see so many people front from last night.
The Apres swim images show what great camaraderie there is within the group.
Thanks to all those that put time and effort into organising last night’s ball, including all the ladies who all were all so beautifully dressed.

As the new swimmer in the photos above, just wanted to say thanks very much for a great swim. Did this with a couple of friends over from NZ, so we’re already planning to do this again the next time we’re over.
