Friday 11th November – seas the day

Rememberance Day by Guy.

6am and the beach is already busy. Everyone ready to seize the day.

Our favourite little corner is buzzing.

Friday is the new Saturday. A gateway to the weekend.

Bags already pilled up and the Drinks Express haven’t even left yet.

Our Management Leader is back from Fiji! Ian had a wonderful time but is keen to get back in CTB, today being his first swim

Another Ian spotted! On his way in for 630am. Chris just finished a 6am swim, about to join the FFF doing their Friday thing.

If you have never done it, try it out! The FFF is quite a bit of fun! Definitely built my confidence and ability in the waves.

They start on the line, 630am every Friday.

Pitch Report

Water temp is creeping up after that diaster drop to 14C last week. A warm 18.5C!

Bit rolly out there. Shelly is nice and flat but you have to swim through a weird strange scuzz in the middle of the bay.

Minimal visibilty is not what we like to hear though its no worse than yesterday. Some patches are better than others. Lots of little fish hovering on the surface and around the rocks.

Rip is still going strong, lifeguards have moved the flags slightly further north.

As always, everyone still enjoyed their swim, plenty of smiles around.

Sue and Alison waiting for the 7am call to jump in

Few of the Drinks Express. Always smiling. Always fun to swim with.

Thanks for reading swimmers!
