15/03/2015 – Lost Sunday

I don’t know what happened today but our usually reliable Sunday team of bloggers didn’t show so I am composing a lightning blog (for all of those closet writers who are a bit tentative about volunteering, don’t be hesitant, with Mary’s wonderful notes, it’s dead easy and it can be quick too….I reckon this one...

Sat 14/3: Something fishy about this blog

There’s something about a morning ocean swim with friends and fish which allows us to live in the moment.   First light breaks over Manly Beach:   The water invites us:   Quiet contemplation on the rocks wishing they were swimming with pink cappers:   Taking it all in:   This is hardcore!   Charlie...

Beautiful in Manly… meanwhile in Melbourne

I am stuck down in Melbourne (more on that later…), but this morning at the swim…   Looks pretty good (thanks Lesley for the shots) – 155 swimmers in 22.7 degree water. The balderdash crew enjoyed the cracking conditions…     Meanwhile the A-team gathered in Melbourne…   With a little dinner at Rockpool courtesy...

11/03/2015 – Simply Perfect…

What an absolutely stunning swim it was this morning! The water was warm and calm and like a lake out in Cabbage Tree Bay. The sun rose above Shelly Beach as we swam and reflected beautifully upon the ocean… and fish were everywhere! How incredibly lucky are we?! It was also Sandie’s birthday. Here she...

10/3/2015 Shades of Grey

Another spectacular start to the day with a glassy low tide and warm morning with no bities and clean water. Many stayed for doubles today and soaked in the magic conditions.   Looked more scary than it was.     Swimmers HQ.   Its not really cold despite the emerging wetsuits.   Peter and apprentice...

09/03/15 – You Feel Therefore You Be

It was a simple question. Simple, not easy… How do you help someone find hope? Well, first understand where hopelessness lies, then go somewhere else. Hopelessness – a disconnection from the universal truth that you always are your own perfection. Perhaps the result of a society training us to think our way through life, at...

08/03/2015 – Sunday People

A total of 206 pink swimmers found their way back from Oxford Street to Manly this morning to celebrate what is widely known as the best Mardi Gras after party in town.   As it happens, I also covered last year’s celebrations. The full report can be found here: http://pacificjules.typepad.com/pacific-jules/2014/03/02032014-pink-pride.html It’s noticeably darker these days, with...

07/05/2015 – Saturday morning satisfaction

How thrilling is Saturday morning?  For 215 pink capped swimmers plunging into the 22.1 degree calm, clear sea this morning – it’s the only way to start the weekend.   Something else you don’t want to miss is the first B&B Dinner for 2015.  This one comes with a wine admiration – how can you...

06/03/2015 – Weird and Wonderful Creatures of the B&B

  Our swim does attract a particular kind of person. A gutsy, determined, positive and slightly eccentric ‘sort’ not afraid to push themselves out of their comfort zone… I’m opening my blog today with two of our favourites who epitomise the B&B (or W&W). Derek aka King Neptune and Sarah aka LSA!    LSA arrived...
