We were greeted with a rainbow today. The light was very beautiful at 6.30am.
Nothing like taking a breath while you swim and seeing a rainbow.
A couple of the fast guys from the “Drinky” express drying off in the sunshine.
The Women of the Wall, all looking energised for their swim.
Penny & Derek looking great.
Sadly we will be losing Derek who is going back to the UK, he leaves on Wednesday.
We look forward to seeing you again next summer!
Look at this enthusiastic and good looking bunch.
Tuesday bloggers Brian and I, with Shaun (trying to look forlorn). He is missing his lovely wife Veena who is away with Midge, Wendy & Nan in Exmouth WA swimming with Whale Sharks.
Meanwhile….on Facebook Veena and the gang in WA are looking like they are having a ball, doing shark impressions!. (Can’t hide on social media….we will always find pink caps on tour!)
Beautiful sunrise.
Some lovely water shots, thanks to Brian.
What a great morning, hope your day is fantastic too.
See you all tonight at the B & B dinner.

Lovely blog Jenny with some fun happy photos. I picked up a pair of boots, a cap and blue clear goggles that were left on the wall this morning. I’ll give them to management tomorrow morning
