Today’s blog is dedicated to a very special member of the B&B. (Thanks Roger for this birthday card)   I swam with Fifi’s 6.06am squad today   Swam to the bower before sunrise – Hi Clair Clair & Fifi We decided to skip Shelly and swim around the point. Capless Dave showed us some boardless...

Mornin’ all. Inner westies here. We have an ocean theme today – wonderful creatures all round. I reckon summer is coming. Look at the fab view as we came over the bridge.  How lucky are we to live in Sydney.     Early morning ocean creature.   They’re multiplying!   Underwater creatures   And another one!...

The main group headed north along the beach front today.  (There have been bunches of jimbles in the bay.)  I made the most of the different surroundings by swimming in the ‘wave zone’ where the water pulls you slightly off the beach, lifts you gently upwards before you ride the back of the wave as...

— Conditions Yet another gorgeous sunrise.  Glassy water.  Perfect.  That first 50 metres is always colder, until you get to the Point’s rocks.  I saw sporadic jimbles all the way back across Cabbage Bay, circa 6.40 a.m.  (They’ve heard Fifi is back, and are on the hunt …)   — Management assesses the situation.  “We...

   There are a lot of gutsy people in our swimming group…The sort of people who believe life is for living and try and make the most of each day. The sort of people who ‘jump into life, jump into the ocean’! We know the best start to our day is a swim and a...

Another lovely morning 9 degrees outside and 16.6 in the water but it felt cooler than that!           It was glassy and clear, lots of fish life in Cabbage Tree Bay. One of those days when you wish that you had a snorkel …..so you don’t miss any fish life. Much...

Another morning, another elegant lesson from nature.  As if it knows we need a constant reminder that cold, dark times are transient.  Like the way that spring time follows winter, every year – always. It’s the same way every hero and every story’s happy ending needs a catalyst to make it so.  That’s the gift...

August celebrates the month of the lions, and peeling back the layers at B&B Central, you will find that a good percentage of our bloggers are the Sun star sign, Leos. Checking on the reliable ‘Interweb’ I found that Leos are typically kind and big hearted, energetic, optimistic, straightforward, loyal, confident, ambitious, generous, and encouraging....
