Love is the Answer

The 6am crazies. Flashes of Phosphorescence from the point. Clear skies still full of stars. We talk nautical dawn, an optimistic take on a pitch black night. Frangi picks out his beanie based on the emerging sky colour. Or is it the other way around. With his hand suspiciously in his bag, he tried to...

Fri 5th – Only shooting stars break the mold

2 weeks on from the greatest swim of the year, we return to Shelly. A roaring southerly wind whips us, glad we’re not naked this time. No pagan orgy either. I forget my towel. The 6am swimming headlights head back to Manly as we arrive. Still dark, no-one here, (didn’t the dinghys get removed?), and...

Love is the Answer

Orange, blue, sharp lines, gathering crowds. The boys on the bench chatter. if you choose, choose to be happy…. Cold hands, warm hearts today. I’m sure it’s warmer in the water than when Guy measures at 2am. The 6am crazies. Flashes of Phosphorescence from the point. Clear skies still full of stars. We talk nautical...

Friday 28 June 2024 Think of Others

Another superb morning today. So many other people agreed. There must have been thousands at 630 and 7 am combined – I stopped counting at 50. But while i find swimmers to be fantastic people and smart and good looking, as a blogger, I sometimes wonder if they could think of others. I am trying...

Monday 24th June 2024 – Cool & Sunny

Trish cycled home. Caroline Giardina used Jimmy’s hot bucket. Lisa & besties. David Panton & Louise Farrelly. Tim Giovanelli &...

Tuesday 18/06/2024 – Big Sets and Big Smiles

Huge sets today which didn’t deter these swimmers. Drinky’s sister Katie is over from Cape Town and has been joining The Drinks Express at 6.30am. Well done Katie! It was cold, rough and murky today but all swimmers who swam came out with big smiles 🙂 Water temp was 19 After his swim and coffee...

Friday 14 June 2024 Better than youtube!

I often watch things on yuotube – swimming drills, music, things from the sea. Youtube is trained to offer me more in these categories. Swimming today was better that. Sarah saw a bit of the phosphorescence – here with her early swim companions – known by all congratulations Anita Keelan – Kings Honour List on...

Wednesday 12th June – Toasty toes!

Wednesday 12th June and an arctic vortex has engulfed Sydney and brought long awaited snow to the ski fields (well, perhaps snow in training)…   Arctic voretex’s also bring out footwear challenges – how to keep our delicate toes toasty after a winter infusion of vitamin sea? The ocean, however, defies the arctic vortex and continues...
