Morning all, Seeing this mornings sunrise, it was almost a given we were heading for some heat today.   With a lumpy 1/2 to 1 meter ENE wind swell smacking the point with a almost dead low tide and the last few days having some bities to deal with I figured numbers would be down...

I never understood why people still go to art galleries now that you can view the very same images on the internet.  I mean, what’s the point, it’s not like you can touch the paintings… Another short fill-in blog this morning. Gorgeous morning and 22.2 degrees in the water. Unfortunately, lots of Blue bottles. Look...

Upper Middle Management estimated 385 swimmers today. It felt like 835 to me.   Lips here with a Sunday Quickie. Got to get this blog out fast, so I’ll have to skip my usual self-indulgent waffle and cut straight to the photos and one-liners. Lots of Newbies. Upper Middle Management supported by Lower Middle Management: Derek and...

If life is a beach, then the daily gathering of the B&B swimmers is a life. And just look at all the people who turned up today to enhance their day. So many were pumped to do the numerous badge swims on offer. Lyndall has developed a taste for the super long 10km swims! Today...

Yes it has been hot, hot, hot, but didn’t we love that cool change come through yesterday.  Regardless of the weather or temperature our fearless group of swimmers were at it again this morning. Today we were joined by Ian and Pauline’s daughter Kristy for her first B&B swim – she didn’t get any favours. ...

Today, as I had what seemed like a thousand things to do, I had to prioritise. Of course, as usual the swim comes number one on my list every morning. And todays swim was worthy of that prime position.   Obviously 375 others also made that same choice. The recent heat wave has made it...

It was strangely quiet this morning at the 6am getup. Seemed not a zephyr of wind to be had and a most amazing fog bank out to sea. The leftover Nor East chop had faded to more of a hump than a bump and with the forecast high temps today we headed for the 6.30...

The sky is the limit, We are all deeply flawed. Learn to get over it, And notice how you soar. …That’s enough to keep most of us busy for the week. Or maybe a lifetime. (Click on the photos to expand…  Oh, and read the note at the end about the carnivals)      ...

Just a reminder from Management – instructions for all – wait at the point please… Big crowds Wilf striding in. Lots of newbies today.   And a special new Inner...
