Hi all Todays look was the usual beautiful, seas a bit bumpy and restless, stingers zero, viz OK , temperature a balmy 22.5 ( thanks Guy). A bountiful number of swimmers swam today, Shelley was brimming with eager beavers waiting for the ‘let’s go’ from ‘ the voice’ JK so they could race back. The...

Some of the lovely Wows with King Peter in the middle. A rainy swim today but a core of regular swimmers made it down  and enjoyed their choppy swim in 22.2 degree water! Luke, one of the ‘Mermaids’ ,coming around the point. He did really well in the Mona Vale swim at the weekend as...

Here’s some nice weather for a change, such a refreshing change! Izzy, Derek, (knock me down it’s) Trevor and Bindi Lainey, Louise and Sue Can you spot the piece of plastic in the seaweed? If you can’t what chance does a turtle have? Can you imagine the damage this would do to a turtle’s insides?...

Wednesday 17th January – a day for the, in the words of Sir Humphrey (IYKYK!), “Courageous decisions”…   To swim or not to swim?    A day to impersonate a tea bag?  Long immersion to infuse the oceans energy or a swift dip for a small taste?    A day to be Valorous, Valiant, Versatile in...

Nice, rain free morning on land. The water wasn’t quite as inviting. Checking in with the 6.30 swimmers and hearing that some of them took 15 mins just to get out was rather off putting so we decided just dipping was the order of the day. Added to the decision was that half way wasn’t...

Such a splendid morning to swim in the sea. I came across Natasha and her friends and again they saw the turtle. One degree of separattion from the turtle again. Splashy waves and the sea was a “bit” bumpy – if it gets to “quite” bumpy, they close the beach I think Congratulations on 1000km...

It’s Thursday and I forgot I was blogging. While I took some nice video footage (which will be on the B&B FB page) I didn’t take any photos. Fortunately Edwina did. A beautiful Shovelnose ray. Here she is again before the main event (you don’t want to know but lets say the child was being...

Firstly I’d like to wish the jellies goodbye and good riddance.  It was supposed to be my first swim back after being away but the wall of big orange jellies that were apparently in the bay,  along with some big sets breaking beyond the point, was enough to put me off and I only dipped....

By this January people have foudn out that covid restrictions are over and we can swim at 7 am. SO SO many going down the ramp at 7 am that it was almost like a second Drinks Express. The only remnant of covid restrictions are the different caps which I like very much. Message T...
