Damn those nor-easters disrupting our swims again ! Bluebottle sign up but no definite confirmation that they were in the water but someone got stung in the bay and apparently lots of the big orange jellies. Looks inviting from a far but there were some big sets out beyond the point. I gather parking was...

I swam at 6:05 this morning, was in a rush to catch up to the 6am crew and forgot to look at Guy’s temp and artwork. Grabbed a pic on the way back and confirmed my suspicions that it was the warmest water we’ve had in a while. Before I get to the Nippers and...

So nice to sleep under the doona and wake to a cool, crisp morning.  I’m definitely happy to say goodbye to the humidity we’ve had this summer. Our sunny spot on the wall is now in the shade and the mornings are dark. Not a big crowd which seems to be the case on Tuesdays....

The Swim-out ring was special.  Compassionate energy during the one-minute silence.  Tearful.  Perfect conditions for a beautiful seaborne ceremony. Farewell to two blessed icons of this large swimming community

  Under moody skies, reflecting the sadness of the Bold & Beautiful community who have lost stalwarts Ted de Jager and Justus Potgeiter in the last week,  after a few stellar days with dolphins and turtles bringing smiles and joy,  mother nature decided that she also must mourn… sending choppy seas and lots of bluebottles…...

A grey morning seems to have put people off as it was very quiet this morning but that made for a very relaxing swim not having to dodge the crowds. The water was a pleasant 23.3c, calm seas and good viz.  A few bities that pushed me to get out after enjoying a leisurely swim...
