Monday 26 th February 2018 – Warm water despite cool rain.

I was lucky enough to swim with the 6:10am crew, hightide warm waterered bumpy swim with some great body surfing waves on the return journey.

 

 

Some of Fifi’s Pre-dawn shots.

Only 4 swimmers with the 6:30 crew followed by the launching of the JetSki.

 

 

Welcome back Sarah and Jon who’ll be with us for the next 6mths.

 

JP and Bruce.

Only 2 beach babes.

Thorn and roses.

Congratulations to B&Bers @Rottnest 20km swim 2018 

Brendan & Andy 4h 57m

Matt & Mark 5h 24m

Very eventful race – next shot is of Mark swimming past one of many support craft that sank. Our guys were fortunately well ahead of the back of the field who were forced to leave the water to give way for a GWS 🦈.

Pierre (solo) 5h 33m (action shot with Nicole support paddling).

Stats – only 60+ swimmers, at least one newbie, water temp 21 degs warm.

Have a great week ahead
