Weather today? Even the brush turkeys were staying under cover. Mostly. The best thing about the water was the temperature. Why it was so warm I shudder to think.   Here are some indications about the water quality and visibility. I did hear Anne E say she saw a fish, hopefully not a log...

The Strangers song was not (I believe) about swimming after heavy rain but the title was an apt description of the swim today. The alternative description by one swimmer – strong, rough and dirty is also appropriate but I don’t know a song called that. Swimmers motivated by their own motivations entered the waters.  ...

  Turtles & rain are the talk of the town at the moment.  Who doesnt feel a sense of calm when swimming under pattering rain drops?   When accompanied by lightening strikes, however, that is another matter…. today’s fun facts: Water temp: 23.6 Air temp at 6:30am: 22:2 (should have been that yesterday!) Conditions: bit  choppy,...

It’s a dark start for Tuesday … there was lightning on the horizon – and we may be in for a rainy week       Roberto loves challenging surf.  No such luck today, it’s a friendly sea   What was that temp guy’s name again?   Kylie, Gary and Jenn waiting for the 6.09...

What a beautiful start to the morning!! The sky came alive this morning, with a few early rises opting to delay their 6:30am start to watch the sunrise and swim with the 7am B&B family. The sunrise capped off what was a great morning to swim with the colourful display paired with calmer waters, an...

    Birthday boy Faahany. Ironman, Raconteur, Mate. Still rocking it you old dog, even if the body is falling apart. Troopers troops. Smashing through the surf for another FFF freaky Friday.     I got you under my skin. Where the rain can’t get in.   But if the sweat pours out. Just shout....

What a beautiful swim it was this morning! The water was warm, fishes everywhere and clarity great, though patchy. Going out there were a few gentle waves but calm across the bay and the sun was up! It should be like this for a few days so get in if you can! JK says ‘Hello’...

First view of the ocean from my temporary home above the bold’s entry is of endless rolling waves!   Temperature is 24.2 which is still very warm but surprisingly few bities. There were still plenty of waves so some of us decided Shelley was the safer option.   Half way also looked hard to get...

    5:29am (1 hour before sunrise) Red sky at morning shepherds warning…… Does anyone know why the sky was red?     The Trooper said it’s 6:30.     Lucy   Rusty Management welcoming new bees. Colour   And that’s what I saw today Stay safe and enjoy….. Simon   (Shelly – My dad,...

It was my goal to photograph the 6.30 swimmers in action but my camera’s capability was inadequate to the task. So I had to get in their way. Here is one swimmer who could not believe what he saw when he turned (very expertly; with one goggle only out of the water) to breathe  ...
