Sat 7th: smoke on the water

Ian McKnight keeps a set of diving gear on his Sydney Harbour working barge …

CONDITIONS: More of the same from this week – stunning sunrises, flat water and perfect for swims, chat and coffees. Water not quite clear though.  Some shredded bits of stinger in water – but fairly rare

Heart attack heads-up:

Woody had a stiff shoulder for about a month when swimming.  He then thought he had a pinched nerve in the shoulder for a few days. Then he had three days in hospital with heart attack … back on deck, and easing back into the swims.  Welcome home, Woody  🙂

Budgy Smuggler http://budgysmuggler.com.au is currently updating the
look of our B&B swimwear. They have some great new designs, but would also
like input from B&B swimmers. So we have introduced a DESIGN COMPETITION
to allow our swimmers to submit their own designs to feature on the new
Budgy Smuggler swimwear.

 

All designs will be considered and the best design (if there is one) will be used on the swimwear.

Designs should be funky/fun with a B&B theme, and preferably with a wider appeal outside the B&B community.

Designs will be judged by the Budgy Smuggler design team (and
selected B&B management). Designs should be submitted to ugoboyo@gmail.com
by Saturday 4th June, so let’s get the creative juices flowing. Budgy
Smuggler also encourage feedback on all aspects of the swimwear, including
shape, style, fabric etc
