The temperature is playing tricks on us again, we were back to 17.9 degrees but it felt like 16 going around the point.
We needed to “double cap it” again today. (I did this and still got an “ice-cream headache”)
The big rip was there again today to keep us on your toes on the way from the point to the surf club.
Stunning morning, a little bit misty…
Our Yogi’s were enjoying the early morning rays of sunshine.
Pretty flat today, and low tide.
Freddy was on hand to keep an eye on all of us.
Beautiful in the water at Shelly.
Jeff and Michael looking happy and refreshed after their swim.

Great Blog Jenny, thanks. Perhaps its worth noting that someone had a bag stolen this morning. He swam at 6 and said there weren’t many people around then. When he returned after swimming at 6.30 it had gone. He lost phone, cash and keys – A reminder to have a distinctive and unattractive bag if you can, and keep valuables to a minimum. Pauline said that it happens at this time of year (homeless people attracted to the city for Christmas?) đ

Good point Annie, we need to be on the lookout for people interfering with bags $ try to keep valuable items out of our bags. Keys are obviously still an issue.

Great blog Jenny – amazing how the water temperature swings from a balmy 20 degrees at the weekend to 17 degrees (or was it 16?) today….
Definitely felt it in my toes.
Cheers
