85 ‘ticked’ swimmers
L’Eté Indien (in other words a beautiful day!) greeted us today with fantastic conditions.
11 people took advantage of the conditions and did a double swim. This is definitely going to be on again tomorrow, we’ll meet at the point on the way back from Shelly for those who are interested (and John even mentioned a possible triple swim 🙂
Julie and the rest of the gang in Magnetic island are having a good time and have sent 2 photos (see below). They had their first training swim this morning, water was about 20 degrees and outside temperature is lovely.
Surprisingly the water temperature was 16.6° at the bottom of the ramp at 7:30! But it felt a lot warmer as soon as we passed the point with the usual patches of warm and cooler water.
There are still whales around according to the latest report, so if you get a chance, grab your binoculars and camera and go to North Head for a good experience!
Water Temperature 16.6’ C degrees.
Air Temperature 12 degrees.
Sunrise 6.49am.
Sunset 5.13pm.
High Tide: 7.45am.
Low Tide: 13:24pm.

Jon & I return to Hong Kong tomorrow where we’ll have to put up with a water temp of 25c, so no more wet-suits for us until next year!
We’ve had a wonderful July in Manly, the highlight being our B&B swims. We’d like to thank Jules and all of you for your encouragement in the water, good friendship in and out of the water and for all the good cheer in spite of the many difficulties we all face at times.
We expect to be back at the beginning of Oct and greatly look forward to more swims together then!
Best wishes to those in Qld for the big swim tomorrow, to those going to the Dardanelles, to Iain for the Channel and to everyone else doing the daily, regular swim for us all through August and Sept. No hardship on a “L’Eté Indien” day like today!

Great to be back swimming this morning, first swim in nearly 3 weeks and awesome to see the sunshine again!
A little murky but I did see 2 fish in total…

A fun swim this morning on such a beautiful day. Nice photo Kelly, and did you win? Have a lovely time in Hong Kong, Sarah and Jon. Look forward to your return. Loads of laughter at the point this morning, great way to start the day.

Well put Gaetan, it definatly was L’Eté Indien.
Good luck to the B&B on tour crew for tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear all about it.
I’m hoping tomorrow is L’Eté Indien with maybe some dolphins or a whale….
