8/11/2015 Sunday delight

Mornin’ all. Inner Westies here.  IT issues this morning… sorry for delay. We’ll start with the stats. We had seven new recruits – and I am featuring one today in the blog! The water was 19.5 degrees although it felt a little cooler…. and there were 160 swimmers. (Really Ian? Reckon I’m not the only...

Sat 7/11: Clearly defined

I tested my new wetsuit today.  I’ve only ever worn a sleeveless so the full arm felt really tight around my chest.  My concerns were ‘washed’ away once I entered the water.  Buoyant bliss!  I was a missile cutting a line through the slight chop with ease 😀  Like my wetsuit, my photos today reflect...

Back on Blog Duty

Back on Blog Duty If you haven’t missed my blogs for the last six months, I don’t blame you, Roger’s Friday blogs have been unparalleled, and he left big shoes to fill. My excuse for the long silence: first a ruptured Achilles tendon back in March, followed by a couple of days in intensive care...

Thursday 5th: Do you ever dream about the swim?

First of all, apologies for blogging without swimming, not sure if this is allowed in the Constitution of the B&B… It´s been a while since my last swim due to competitions and a dislocated shoulder and considering the conditions today, I think a lot of swimmers will stay in bed (wise decision). During these few weeks...

Wednesday 4th: Flying High (1980)

Thanks Lainey for giving me the blog today – to look back at movie Flying High (released 35 years ago).  It’s a sharply perceptive parody of the big-budget disaster films that dominated Hollywood during the 1970s. Wednesday Conditions: Soft overnight drizzle; nil carparks even at 5.45 a.m; surfboat on the water at 5.48, ocean flat...

The Scenic Route – 3/11/15

A damp morning with 2 foot of SSE swell on a 6 second period barely causing a ripple for our corner of the world. The light southerly wind at 5-15knots zephering over us barely ruffling the swimming caps.   The surfboat crew struggled to find a wave to ride in.       The crew were...

Gift From the Storm – 02/11/15

Wind whipped waves heave final sighs upon a shore rinsed clean by the rain. New morning carries its contrasts a little clearer than yesterday, Clarity, not so much sharp as concise, Still, a new edge to cross, So come a little closer, take your gift from the storm. – Andrew   (Click on images to...

01/11/2015 – No Rugby

I was under strict instructions not to mention the Rugby in today’s blog. So I won’t. This is a swim blog after all.   A total of 165 good-looking swimmers managed to get out of bed to enjoy a bumpy yet beautiful swim across the bay with us this morning. These guys definitely didn’t want to...

Sat 31/10: Perspective

How did you view the swim today? Some of us were … forward thinking: … reflective:   … jumpy: … taking one for the team: … curious: … communal: … taking a different route: … forging our own way: … on edge / oarsome: Whatever your outlook was today, when we think about the scale...

Friday 30 October 2015 – a raft of swimmers

Manly looked excellent for my swim after missing SEVERAL days. The sea, people out and about, exercising or just looking at the horizon   I was glad to see Wendy who swam at 6 am – when I first started at BB she always helped me with the ins and outs. A buildup of excitement as we prepare for a...
