16/01/2019 – Special smell for blueys?

Driving down Sydney Road this morning,  the invigorating smell of salt air permeated the car. I breathed in deeply, wondering whether there was a special smell in the air that signals blue bottles in water, similar to smells of different fruit in wine! I sniffed extra hard, and after detecting a slight hint of licorice,...

Monday 14th January 2019 Clearer warmer water.

Top of the blog water temp: 21.7 degrees swimmers: 250+ newbies: 15+ Next 10km swim -> 9 February. Clearer warmer water so I saw lots of sea life, one bluey, heaps of blackfish and yellowtail plus a Fidler ray at the point.     My swim via Apple Watch tracker.     Most of the...

8.01.2019 Mary and Dawn are legends

This is sort of a Surprise Bog, so short and sweet. I have admired Mary and Dawn and heard them chatting in the change rooms for many months, maybe years. They are always in the wave as I arrive. They are the kind of women I am aiming to be., fit, smiling, calm and energetic...
