The waves looked ‘big’ again this morning as this photo shows!! But it can be deceiving from this vantage point! They sometimes look smaller than they are, you go in and get hammered OR They look HUGE but in fact are not! You can never tell! Today they seemed big but were NOT on the...

The weather report had prepared me for the worst.  Did you hear it to?  Unsafe conditions, driving rain, wind, heavy cloud cover. . . What greeted the 96 swimmers who made the pilgrimage to the meeting point was a mild moody morning.  About 16 – 17 degrees out and a comfortable 21.1 degrees in the...

After a week of choppy and unclear water it was flat, warm, smooth with amazing visibility again today. Krystina described it as a ‘fish extravaganza!’ You have to swim with us now before it gets cold. It’s simply stunning! The sunrises are to die for too!  The Drinks Express head out under dramatic skies again…...

It was dark enough to perhaps put you off coming down!  The moon was still up!  But the sun soon peeped around the corner! Just in time for us to go in…and the water was LOVELY and flat …temp was above 20! A little bit cool going in… The sun was superb sitting just above...
