A beautiful 18.9 degrees had many considering whether it was time to shed the wetsuit… but maybe not quite yet…   I love seeing all the friendly faces each morning. Sterling’s sister was over from Paddington (somewhere over the Spit Bridge I...

Alright it is Thursday blog time… cracking morning. Anne tells me at least 77 swimmers and 18.5 degrees in the soup… and soup it was this morning with some good swell, plenty of sea weed and the occasional jimble.   Sterling came out of the 6:30am swim bouncing around.
