John 007 Bond came up with the title for today’s blog. 112 swimmers enjoyed a beautiful sunrise, calm, smooth, crystal clear waters and loads of fish sightings…Someone was happy to be back. Would you believe Robbie has just returned from a holiday in Hamilton Island (not Iceland). You’d have thought he’d have worked on his...

134 of us this morning!!  Water temperature is down – 16.8 …but that didn’t stop 3 new people joining us for their first swim today! And it was another super duper sunrise! And yeah can’t believe this is winter! Love is in the air! Tui whispering sweet nothings to Sir Winston.. OR, more likely, giving...

  114 Brave Swimmers turned to a glorious swim this morning.  The veracious winds that came through yesterday took the temperature down by almost 2 degrees to 15.9, taking some by suprise.   For the swimmers who took the option to come out and enjoy the swim you wouldn’t have been dissapointed.  Clear, smoother waters...

Bit of a small blog today as the usual blogger didn’t turn up?? Anyway conditions are still pretty lovely and a bit ‘warmer’!  Clear and still-ish.   I also saw some unusual jellyfish – at first I thought they small pieces of clear cellophane with a small chocolate inside but I soon realised, when I...

What a turn out today. The sunny skies and warmer temperatures have bought many swimmers out of their warm beds and i’m sure it was a morning that they won’t forget any time soon. Blue skies, warm water (well in some areas) and clear smooth seas made it a days to take a leisurely swim...

Friday August 9 – It’s about 7c at 6:30am – another beautiful sunrise coming up!    I don’t know what happened yesterday with the weather – Sheesh Elaine, I thought you said thursday’s were the best days??    On the way down to the surf club, the Integrity Police were watching over Storchy’s boot camp....

It was another of those ‘whale kind of days’ today…Cold with grey skies and drizzle, exactly as it was last July when 43 of us swam with the whale. Lots of talk about whales today as we know they are around. It was ‘Lake Manly’ today with calm, flat water and great visibility… Thanks for...

SUPER flat! And despite the clouds showing here it did clear up and the sun shone through! Really? is it always so perfect! YES! 🙂 Very inviting – couldn’t wait to get in! AND Toni J did a DOUBLE!!!   Lining up to sign in…. Sir Winston is miffed! Apparently he insists on coming past...

Hanging outside a bakery after the swim, one of the regulars made the observation that while every day the sun comes up, how beautiful have the sunrises been of late!  The bloggers have all captured the same subject – sun coming up – but each different in colour intensity, clouds, etc, surely you get the...
