Looking out to the point the words, half way, came to mind. Just 56 swimmers (so far) fronted up to experience the rough and tumble of the surf today. Over the past few weeks, I had noticed Vicky and Elaine often doing a pre-swim run up the beach.  Looks like the air in Manly just...

A person in poverty is one who needs a lot to live, likewise one with little who thinks they must only just survive. Then what of wealth? It is to feel ‘I can’, to say “Yes” and to know that ‘I am’ is enough. To understand that a heart beating with love creates ripples, which...

I literally have nothing to contribute today ! not ideal as I’m supposed to be writing the blog, but at least I showed up (please refer to previous blog re. the 80% of life rule) … which is more than what the communal camera did ! … the swim starts at 7am Elaine !! …...

Swimming Manly to Shelly and back can be seen as a meditation because it comprises those three steps: breath control, withdrawal of the senses and concentration. If you add to those elements an attitude of cultivating awareness, your swimming can become a practice in moving meditation You can start with Yoga before your swim !...

In a recent B&B recruitment campaign LSA, HKTQ (Little Sarah Abbott, Hong Kong Triad Queen) said, “Even people from Mosman and Balmoral are welcome at the B&B.” Fortunatley for us Keiren (Dep Pres) and Rob (Pres) of the Balmoral Beach Club heard Sarah’s call and graciously accepted her invitation today. http://www.balmoralbeachclub.com/ We know no money changed hands. Keiren with Rob...

Whilst fake B&B calendars float around B&B changing rooms (the trees and the tables) (see http://pacificjules.typepad.com/pacific-jules/2014/11/2111-1.html ) and Lips continues to spout and pout (just as he did on that fateful date with the bluebottle)about that Snorkles on the cover (of the official B&B calendar that is) and such like, I thought I’d share a...
