Today we swapped pink caps for REDFEB ones to raise money for Heart Research Australia.  The fundraising has been very successful so far with just over $1000 raised.  To reach our fundraising target of $3,000 before the end of the month, please dig into your pockets (or credit cards)!  To donate, or set up your...

Nice having you all back reading the blog. Comments on my first blog haven’t been as bad as I feared, even JK told me he liked it. Here my second edition, hope you enjoy and appreciate my improving photographic skills. Last time, to be honest, I struggled quite a bit, hunting for the fish photos...

So much to report on down at the Bold and Beautiful this morning. Not the least being 25 degree water and lovely sunshine!   It is JP’s birthday. One of the favourite members of the A-team, he is known for his fast starts, love of Captain Risky and his small nipples.   Lovely to see...

 Another magnificent swim in warm 24.7 degree water with a slight swell… Not so clear as yesterday but still loads of marine life about… and at least 160 happy-to-be-alive swimmers! Drinky and Reg returning from their 6.30am swim… No stingy things reported! It rained heavily at Avalon in the night but early morning at Manly...

Every now and then you have those days when you find it hard to find words to describe them. Fantabulous just seemed to fit. It was an incredible 24.4 degrees which for me is the highest its been and very much a tropical special and a far cry from the 14.8 I remember from the...

Whenever we are hanging on to something it costs us.  It requires energy you know, all that holding onto the way it was, the way we think it should or will be.  It erodes the present moment.  How can you completely enjoy being here, if you’re still attached to being there? Waiting at The Point...

This week I managed to get further than the shoreline (bad, naughty waves last Sunday cut my swim very short) Let me introduce you to our narrator today. Meet Cyril, the sea slug, or you might know him as a nudibranch.     I found Cyril travelling over the ocean floor at Cabbage Tree Bay...

All was quiet in the beginning.   Then it turned into a big crowd.  Management tells me 245 swimmers logged today’s swim in balmy 23.5 degree water!   Loads of familiar faces turned up too!!  Robbie and Emer – where have you been? Lucy is STILL here too!   A week after the annual Cole...

At 6.05 a.m. a bright, white moon breaks through darkish clouds.  Small yacht Tardis (name looks handwritten) is back on the Cabbage Tree.  It has a surfboard on the roof, and stand-up board strapped to siderail.  There could be true adventurers on-board? The above sign says NO to dogs, but I find Shane doing perfect...

Apologies for the short blog this morning. I am currently lying on the couch milking having man flu for all it is worth…. ‘Victoria I need a water…’ I am reliably told about 90 swimmers enjoyed the 23 degree water. Not me… I fell like I am dying. Someone get me some chicken soup… Looks...
