BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND STAYING INSIDE AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) Swimmers braved 16.4 degree water temperature and the occasional jimble at the swim this morning. So it got me asking ‘what do you love about the ocean?’ and here’s...

    BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND STAYING INSIDE AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)   “Is this the same beach where the waves were huge, visibility was non existent and surfers were out in force?” Ponders Helen (left) who is new...

Welcome to the random Tuesday blog. Ah Tuesday – the sun starts off ruby red in the east and then makes its presence to show that things well and truly under way.  After those exciting swells of last week, we’ve returned to cool, flat conditions. Random: Made, done, or happening without method or conscious decision....

    BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND STAYING INSIDE AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) The conditions have changed again.

It was terrifying for me to watch some skilled swimmers making their way through the waves AND the seventy or so surfers...

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND STAYING INSIDE AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19).  Another wild and wooly winter morning greeted our swimmers today. The waves had settled…so they tell me…but it was still pretty hectic as I watched the bravest of pink...

To Swim or Not to Swim, that was the question of every B&Ber this morning. The water temperature may have been warmer than yesterday’s 16.2 but the swell is the largest it has been in quite some time. Photos can not do said swell justice but it was an utter delight watching everyone looking out...

Little Sarah was dying to get back in the water today in spite of a badly sprained ankle. She didn’t let a bit of rain, wind and a forecast of stormy seas put her off! It was a really lovely swim this morning and the rain stopped around 7am.  I know that bed was cosy...
