Just past the point, I take a breath and see the shape of a SHARK FIN. Hmm, what is that??? A closer inspection, its a giant cuttle fish back bone floating along like a shark fin. A bit of a relief. Lots of swimmers saw it too, and so it becomes the feature of the...

Ski gloves are the go for Shelley, with her brother Saul.   The line up for a cold shower?? The tap water is cooler than the sea water.   Beautiful Polly patiently waiting, lucky she has a fur coat.   Kerry, very happy that she only has a few more “cossie” swims to tick of...
