Thanks again to Lainey for providing the “in water” and early morning shots (I’m not there in time for those, one good thing about the late sunrise in winter is that I get to see it, not now though). I haven’t swum since freezing Saturday so although 15.7 is still damn cold, it wasn’t quite as painful. Viz is also a lot better and back to flat so wonderful, winter conditions continue.
Emma and Henrietta at the welcoming board (needing more volunteers for that if anyone’s available )
Lainey and Edwina discuss what they might see, pre swim
Edwina, Amanda, Lisa, newbie Holly ( hope I remembered the correct name) who was out for the world cup and flies back to the UK. A great way to prepare for a long haul flight.
Georgina, Edward, Robyn and John D looking happy to be getting in.
Di backpacked and ready to leave for golf, Annie, Georgina and Edwina with big post swim smiles.
Annie, Dave, Sheena, Merrilee, Lainey and Ed back on the bench once the sun had hit it. Another change in the sun direction.
Lovely photo of the Dennet family, Robyn, Ed and John. Ed was very excited about all he had seen – 4 of the big 5, his take on the BnB big 5, turtle, big ray, PJ and cuttelfish. The story also got bigger and bigger!
Here’s the PJ.
Lots to see, wondering how much longer these great conditions will last with winter almost over, so get out there!
Have a great day.

2023 Winter Badge Ceremony – Sunday 17th September at 8 am
You’ve done the hard yards and earned your Winter Badge(s), so why not collect them personally with all the pomp and ceremony the B&B can muster. Our Winter Badge Ceremony will be held at the Royal Far West’s Centre for Country Kids at 14-18 Wentworth St (opposite Rialto Square) on Sunday 17th September, at 8 am, straight after the regular swim! Everyone is welcome, family, friends and swimmers alike. Bring along $10 for each badge you have earned (credit cards will be accepted at this event). $5 will be donated to RFW for each badge collected at this event, so, if you can’t make it, get your friends to collect your badge for you. Or if you have previous badges you have forgotten to collect, now is the time to do it.
A $5 per person donation will be payable to the RFW at the gate for hosting this event, and …. RFW will provide a FREE breakfast (sausage sandwich and a coffee/tea). Bookings are essential to ensure there is enough food.
