It was a perfect morning for Jules Isbill’s return visit today! If it wasn’t for Jules and her lovely partner Michael, this amazing daily drama wouldn’t exist. She started the B&B swim off over 5 years ago and worked hard to make it the inclusive, friendly, popular activity it is now. Thank you Jules and...

Well just another day in paradise. The rising tide of swimmers was a slow to reach its peak today. Perhaps the diet of chocolate, Easter buns and good cheer has sent us into a sleepy phase. A chilly start as the gauge tells me it is 12 degrees, but thankfully our ever reliable Mr Bond assures...

With the changing season there are some people out there who start to slip a little deeper under the doona.  Not us! We laugh as the thermometer displays 11 degrees. . . Well at least 85 of us did today. The grey morning with rain out to sea has become a bit repetitive these past...
