Above: Here comes another one – but each swim is different and the mornings have more light and it arrives a lot earlier. A 6.30amish Bolderdash (which I have not done for a while) with Carel, Inge, Jason and Keith.  Above: Here comes another wave and Jason has that steely look of determination at the...

Look daaarling, an art showing/auction today upstairs (BEST SUNRISES OF 2021) in the surf club! How delightful! We must go up the inside stairs, through the men’s showers, oh dear. Look there’s Swanbourne Sam, mighty fine specimen, I heard that about Perth men. Avert your eyes, Murray is showing off his water skills again. Look...

“No cold nuts!” exclaimed Tylney with a look of excited disbelief. “Excuse me?” said Karen giggling behind her hands at this rather unexpected comment. “I’ve got a new wetsuit! If I was wearing my usual old (& clearly not so faithful) 25 year old wetsuit, I would have had cold nuts by now!” Tylney said...

The flowing locks and the creative hairstyles of the lockdown tribe. Here at B&B Blog central we thought we’d capture these wild and woolly days before freedom brings back a visit to the hairdresser or barber. Well that was the plan …. until the conditions turned a bit hairy and I didn’t get to meet...

Rusty & Caroline’s Pitch report The shark boat was pacing back and forth between 5.30 and 7am this morning, laying the summer nets? Yesterday’s Nor Easter has brought some warmth back to the air & water. The bower breaks looks smaller, a nice little wave off Manly. Surfers in their hundreds. Jelly babies everywhere in...

Good morning from Old Blighty and apologies for the time delay in getting the blog out. This time thing. A diversion for you all from the joys of CTB  to the Deep joy of the Thames and beyond. I mean deep and moody. Open water swimming continues to delight.  In addition to joining the cake...

It was blowing a gale harbourside this morning when I went for my run and then it started raining. However by 6.45am the rain had gone and around at Cabbage Tree Bay it was surprisingly still. The rain had kept the crowds away and it was very quiet. The consensus was that it really was...
