BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19). Thank you for following public health advice at all times. *SSDD = Same Sea, Dad-joke Dialog They just keep on coming…. What do you call a fish with no eyes? Fsh. Where do fish like to go for holidays? Finland. How...

Over the last few days, the jimbles have made their presence felt in no uncertain terms.  From all the welts, stories and screams, it seems they have absolutely outnumbered us! Today the signs have been a little more promising! Oosty was explaining to Ros, in a very animated fashion, that while the jimbles were nasty...

The times are a changing (even though Bob Dylan is great and he can drop a final “g”, I can’t) and because of covid we have been working remotely or under different arrangements. Well today I am blogging without having been swimming. But really it is Elaine’s blog and I am her emanuensis and that...

It was always going to be difficult for Sunday to outperform Saturday. Saturday was a day of jimble dodging, the relief of dark fins turning into dolphins (see below) and more hooters than shark sirens. But if you lined up all your ducks in row  then Sunday was a beaut –  nine degrees at 7am...

Rusty and Chippo’s pitch report What Light Through Yonder Window Breaks? As is the Shakespeare way, short but sweet.  The crowds gather, as the groups start to form.

    Everything changed. Instead of swimming as a synchronised group. We split into individual cells. The rule book turned to anarchy. No longer the rush to 7am, the 8 minute half way wait in arctic waters. We rebelled. We go when we want. Today we need to take the next step in self-expression, sacrifice...

It’s been a while since we have had upper management guide us swimmers out with the “safety first” spiel ! I miss those pre pandemic days of JK and Ian standing on the wall, delivering speeches of “walk to half way” and “ swim at your own risk!!!” As well as “ it’s bloody cold in...

Siyabona CTB the gift that keeps on giving. Today was no exception – a beautiful moody blues view greeted us … what’s not to like. And a great place to find joy first thing in the morning.   One of our golden legends Errol posed for me. He recovered from a stroke and still finds...

You had to be down at the beach by 6.30am this morning to see the amazing light show. It was spectacular! I always try not to miss the half hour before and after sunrise and had to jump up from yoga on the beach to photograph this! The Drinks Express got to swim under that...
