Where’s Billy?
Was he at Curly with Fifi to catch the sunrise?
Was he watching the moon from Sterling’s car?
Was he camping out?
Was he looking at today’s Port Jackson?
Was he in the water ahead of some of Drinky’s faithful crew?
Was he shivering at the start?
Did he borrow Dave’s cap?
Was he racing Sterling to the point?
Was he waiting for the Express at Shelly?
Was he asleep on the promenade with Ian and co?
Was he chasing Mr Grouper?
Wait minute, isn’t that Billy, leaving the water ahead of the Express?
Yes, there’s Billy!!
Hope it’s warmer in the water tomorrow

a nice swim today and a bit warmer in the water.
It would be interesting to see any photos of the swim today when big sets were coming through off the point.

Anyway…
Swimmer of the day: Bruce Cuttance
Not one single squeak about the big rough surf, gets straight in, whips out the back past the break, did a very fine double and then cruised on into the beach. No complaining, no hesitating, smiles all the way. Impressive.
Go Bruce!

Can’t be Billy.
He always wears winkle picker shoes, a scarf and a man bag.
Notice how Billy is always a tad puffy in the face early morning. Bad fluid retention!
