Every swim is its own adventure and has its own features – waves, swell, sky, stingers/not. Today was Helen’s birthday. Happy birthday Helen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRlRCrchYb       New swimmers seeking an adventurous life by joining BB       Ted’s triangle completed     a marriage is a REAL life adventure Wendy and Ryan travelled...

Conspiracy theorists have now confirmed Manly’s Cabbage Tree Bay is the world’s other Bermuda Triangle. When aliens first saw Cabbage Tree Bay from space they recognised the shape as a Triangle . And we now join the faked death of Elvis and the alleged moon landing in annuls of cult infamy. The evidence is as obvious...

Awesome Sophie opens our blog today (and her legs ;-)). Love her star jumps, but most of all her warm, kind and huge heart! (If anyone needs the best Marriage Celebrant she’s your lady.) A huge turn out today on the last day of Spring!   The sunrise when I saw it during my run,...

I woke this morning in a panic as the morning light had already beaten a path through the window and up the wall. I bounded out of bed with the prospect of an early swim. Ian Mcknight had warned me the night before he would be banging on my window at 5:30am to make sure I...

6amers said lets go to the harbour.         Angel B         It’s 6.05am and 5 went to the toilet roll and 5 went to Little Manly.     Derek and Sarah swam at 6.10 to Shelly without bluebottles.     Guess the 6.30 swimmer who got stung!  Jumbles ???    ...

Yep that right! There’s no title today. Lainey asked me at breakfast what I would be calling the blog today and agreed that sometimes it’s even hard to come up with a title! We had a cracking 280 swimmers today, of which 18 were new and John Bond confirmed the water temperature as a balmy...

I am keen on online shopping. Sitting on the couch and surfing the net, finding lots of things I don’t already have. But very often when it arrives – unless it is a book – I will have forgotten that I have ordered it or if I remember it is not as good as I...

ABC Radio was lucky to have a brush with fame this morning. A call from Management no less! “John” called in to mention the swim at Manly and also put in a guess for the mystery song.   This got me thinking about celebrity and reality shows which I somehow know lots about without actually watching...

Today is my hump day, and after yesterday’s rough surf and choppy swimming conditions, I”m glad Manly is back to it’s normal perfect self.   Anne welcomed two new swimmers and they agreed to do whatever she said!   This lovely lady is heading back to Miami after two swims with us and promises to...

I was in a slight panic this morning. I hadn’t had time to plan my blog and I felt very uninspired with no idea for a theme. I shouldn’t have worried. There was no need for a theme today. There was so much to celebrate, experience and enjoy so I’ll let the morning and all...
