18/11/2014 – Moody Tuesday

This surprisingly glorious Tuesday morning saw at least 116 B&B swimmers roll up at B&B Central.  Mind you, there are multiple swims available at this time of year – Boulderdash, Drinks Express, 7am regulars – we are not all gathered in the one spot at the same time! Some like to keep sleeping right up...

08/11/2014 – Its almost summer

Over 240 people turn up for the Saturday swim!  Plus, there were 14 newbies. Such a perfect day for a swim – the water has cleared (mostly), the temperature is a comfortable 19.2, and no waves or rips to bring out the lifeguards. This did mean that it was totally cheek to jowl under the...

04/11/2014 – A day at the races

Punters and racers gathered at B&B Central this morning.  Some started early, limbering up for the main event. A modest field numbering around 85 or so and made up of early lappers and hopefuls exchanged advice, tips and silly jokes amid the pre-race build up.   The fashion in the field was dominated by brights...

21/10/2014 – It’s time for reflection

This morning the sky was completely grey except for what looked like a massive crack through which glorious sun rays streamed. At the time I was surrounded by fire trucks and ambulances heading to Dee Why, it was not the time to stop for a photo opportunity!! It was about this time the announcement of the...

07/10/2014 – Stormy Tuesday

Today’s dawn was heavy with the promise of a storm.  Deep grey clouds hung over the horizon, with a very messy surf. Perfect conditions for the 70 swimmers who had recovered from long weekend activities to turn up today. Some people are so keen to make sure they don’t miss the start, they sleep on...

29/09/2014 – the day the blogger forgot

This is how Heather saw in Monday morning.  Simply stunning don’t you think?  Then along with 80 or so other swimmers, she turned up at B&B central to plunge into the glorious 18.7 degree water.  Unlike our regular Monday blogger who didn’t quite make it. . . .   Manly was abuzz with activity.  The combination...

16/09/2014 – A bluey day

It looked a bit messy arriving at B&B Central.  The early swimmers assured us that it ‘wasn’t that bad’, but given that Miles might have been comparing it to a Channel crossing, I’m less than assured. The great news is the water temperature is steadly rising!!   And Jane is back from holidays.   The...

9 Sep 2014 – Glorious sunshine

The 65, or there about, swimmers who turned up today were welcomed by glorious sunshine!! No wind, no rain. How the simple things make us so happy. Welcome back to Helen (or Ducky to some). Her first swim back in a few months was about to be made even more fun with washing machine conditions....

02/09/2014 – A day to celebrate

From spring yesterday back to winter today, I guess that is why we were a modest 69 (ish) swimmers today.  The clouds may be rolling back in, but there is always the guarantee of a sunny smile and a warm hug at B&B central.     And I have to confess, being my birthday, I...

26/08/2014 – Things I never thought I would do

Is the B&B just one big behaviour modification program? Never would I have imagined that I would ever leap out of bed – where it was warm and toasty – to embrace what can only be described as a miserable day.   I now evaluate the sets when looking at the surf crashing onto the...
