This photo sums up the swim today for me. Fun, rough, rolly and exciting… Exhilarating, murky and challenging… Always worth getting outta bed for! First light at 6am was so beautiful… Little Sarah and Jill got up early to do the 5.50am Bolderdash today with Inez and Shaun but although very bold decided it was...

While sifting through the numerous fan emails I get post Wednesday blog, I often also get asked a few questions about “Who is the real Lesbubbles” and “Where do you get your cool Rashies from?”.

Well it is definitely a little harder to get out of bed these days with the sun now rising a later than it did two weeks ago.  It’s perfect for catching those sunrises as I don’t have to get out of bed as early.  Unfortunately for me there have been clouds every morning but on...

Yeh baby it’s Friday! – OK so it’s grey and it looks like it’s going to (as our Kiwi mates say..) “puss down” Although the water has been a little  murky, it’s been one of those weeks where we look back at all the things we see on our swim and are reminded just how...

How could you possibly start the hottest October day ever recorded, in any better way than a B&B swim! Starting off the blog with the view of you swimming in to Shelly Beach on this sparkling, stunning Spring morning! My favourite view in the world! Sunrise was at 6.19am this morning and ahhh…mazing it was!...

I’ve not much to work with on this blog – my camera was playing up and the conditions were so bl**dy perfect again!! Not that we mind ….. 😀 A ‘normal’ shot of the beach… Zoom in and it becomes a romantic scene…with the seagull on the right… Flat flat flat! But there was a...
