Beautiful photo by BK “any time” phrase of any adverb: anytime at whatever time. “you can swim anytime” I am loving the latest B&B vibe of  the anytime ‘swim’…. arriving this morning to stunning sunrise … I watched people potter in for a swim in dribs and drabs….in and out anytime. Gone is the day of only...

Calm water. 19.1 degrees so very pleasant to swim in. Sun. Crisp autumn air. Loads of wised up people swimming. What a lovely morning. Kylie and Hayley out in the swim Getty ready, checking the temperature, looking at the conditions. None of this information changes your decision to get in but we check it every...

Manly was shining in all is splendor this morning with a picture poscard sunrise, next to no waves and plenty of people out and about exercising. The CanTooe-ers were having one of their last hitouts before their swim on Sunday.  They have been put through a nine week intensive ocean swimming program. This morning’s temperature...

There was a biting winter chill descending upon the ramp this morning. More beanies and puffer jackets than I have seen in quite a while and the unmistakable sound of Ugg boots and slides with socks shuffled along the sandy path towards the surf club. Winter is coming!!! I watched our Bold and Beautiful early...

Everything was sparkling this morning! The sun on the water, reflection of ocean and the smiles of swimmers. What a morning! The air temp was just a bit lower than water temp which had risen to 19.9. Even the Cuttlefish’s ‘w’ shaped eyes were sparkling and around the edge of his ‘skirt’! Rusty stops for...

Monday Bootie. LSC Masters. Orange Mick. 6.29 express. Three Simons. Coffee with Greg Roberto & Matt. Have a safe and enjoyable week…....

It’s beginning to feel like the B&B of old – with no community transmission more people are coming for their dose of Vitamin Sea. Today I’m filling in for Edwina who is part of a support crew for some swimmers who are swimming from Palm Beach to Manly. Puts the old 6k swim in the...

Monday you can fall apart. Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart. Oh, Thursday doesn’t even start. It’s Friday, I’m in love. Lake Manly beckoned us early today, supreme viz (mostly), cuttlefish, a plethora of duskys, a floating orange, slightly cooling water. Strolled round to Shelley early, Capless walking the dog, first time at Manly I’ve seen...

“Oh, what a beautiful morning” was the sentiment sung by the chorus line of swimmers coming from and entering the water today. And whilst we are world away from ‘Oklahoma’ nothing rang truer for today’s swim.  I love a good musical, especially a classic,  so if you haven’t seen this old time flick, you should!...
