It was quite an electrical storm last night but that brought a change in wind direction so much calmer than recent days. There were still a few big sets and a high tide which meant a long swim in from the point. Some of us opted for the half way option and although the bay...

Today Sue Marinan hit her 7000km swim. Not surprisingly, she’s in the number 1 spot and seems like she must spend more time in the water than out to achieve that. Congratulations and well done! Almost perfect conditions for it. Greg and Sue preparing for the celebration tunnel.       Michael, Al, JK and...

A glorious morning above the water but quite a washing machine in. Lovely temperature though at 18.6. Lainey enjoyed her dip. As seems a regular occurrence with my blog,  I was almost done and it disappeared ! There still seems to be problems with loading photos so not sure if they will appear or not....

After reading Tilly’s blog yesterday I was hoping for calmer seas today, alas it was even worse!   Temperature is down a smidge at 17.4 and viz seemed to be irrelevant as it was so rough there was nothing to report. Henrietta,  Sally and Marco ready to welcome any newbies,  and warn them re conditions, ...

By the time I arrived to swim the spectacular colours of early morning posts had gone. However for the most part the rain held off. Nicci keeping the wall warm waiting for others to arrive.   Ian and Henrietta manning the board.   Greg’s report was beautiful, flat and cold the whole way.   Pete...

The forecast wasn’t great but as is so often the case,  it was a pleasant surprise that there was no rain and even some sun, making a spectacular backdrop. Photo credit to Alison.   Reports from the early swimmers were good. Colin and Greg said flat and fast.   Kate, Barb and Jacqui said gorgeous,...

Or close to it anyway. Pretty calm seas, not bad viz, temp a bit on the chilly side at 15.5 but always great to get in.   With Lainey back I’ve got extra help with the photography.   A few snaps from Shelley. Nicci, Martin and Michele  Mary and Rainer loving that feeling. Irma and...

To be fair it was actually raining when I got up but by 7am it had cleared. Temperature’s going down again,  15.8c so hopefully not much further.   The 6.30 crew arrived back with big smiles and only positive things to say.     Jo needed her warm shower post swim. Oops, I made the...

As Di said,  what a difference a day makes,  not that I swam yesterday but today was pretty special albeit pretty cold!   With the temperature at 15.6C it was handy that we could walk almost to the point,  calm seas and no wind made it almost bearable. Might be time to get out the...

It was a mixed bag of weather and conditions this morning. The temperature is still up at 17.3, viz is still down though surprisingly we saw a dusky(or was it a PJ?) out from Shelley. The signs going up (post swim) were an indication of conditions. I asked the 6.30 for some honest comments as...
