Today I spend half an hour in bed, cosseted by the patter of rain – and planning a way to blog without leaving home … — Last night a massive blanket of rain carpeted much of Sydney, and it has rained consistently all night.   — Something makes me get my butt up.  At 6.30...

What a wonderful morning at the Bold and Beautiful. The water was 18.5 degrees and about 80 swimmers enjoyed near perfect conditions. It is so lovely to have clear, calm water with a fun rolling wave on the point!   Nice to see the gang as you wander towards manly Surf Club!   The gorgeous...

Rougher and more exciting conditions today! Over 100 of us Pink Cappers enjoyed bumpy swimming in the rain! Nan, on the right reached her 1000 kms swim at the weekend. It was Midge’s (in the middle) birthday yesterday. These lovely ladies swim at 6.30am most mornings rain, hail or shine! Dave and a few other...

Yes, there is 2 words for today’s swim…Washing Machine The water temperature was a lovely 19.1 degrees and the outside temp was around 14 degrees. However, it was a bumpy ride. A few B&B’s did the half way journey, but as always what ever you swam – was well worth the effort.   We did...

“Sometimes a swim is just a swim”, said nobody in the BnB, ever. There’s always more to be found when diving beneath the surface of the reality in which we think we are presently participating.  But reality can’t be thought, only felt. The feeling found, though novel, is not new.  Just a deeper reconnection to...

Oh, I love being warm this Winter in my wetsuit, but *sigh* it means I can’t take those fantastic underwater shots. This week I’ve seen a huge Wobbygong, a poorly catfish, Shelly the turtle venturing out and plenty of the old favourites.   Mind you, having a wetsuit on means I can dodge those nasty...

Yes, there were some jimbles today.  I dodged 16.  As Dory reminds us, if you touch them, they might just sting you! This was not enough to deter the pink cap crew from venturing into the bay and enjoying fantastic clear water conditions.  There were a surprising number of swimmers braving it without wetsuits, too!...

Did you swim this morning? It was a mixed experience… warm water, clear, calm conditions… but also a few jimbles taking a nip out of some swimmers.   Winter Triple Crown winner El Spaniardo got a good jimbling and decided to walk back from Shelly Beach. They seemed to be hanging out in line with...

Well the 6am Booty campers proved they were tough ! Greg is all steamed up from all Jenns exercise & wet from the fine drizzle, but the show goes on !   Derek brought down an adorable little rescue pup Foo who needs a home ! he will only grow to about the size of...
