Yep , you guessed it was cold but only out of the water. A balmy warm swim was the best start to the day once you get over the whole undressing process.
The morning started with a very gentle sunrise.
And today was met with very few in the water.
The hardy
And the culprit was….
Casting the temperature size
The three amigo’s
And the three crazy amigo’s with no wetsuits
And a magical sunrise
And lots of underwater traffic
Patrick and his big feet
High speed suits
everywhere
And massive schools of fish
A bit brisk on the other side
Some chose to cuddle up to stay warm
The regulars
And a dark side start
But then it warmed up
swimmers here
swimmers there
everywhere
A close up on the Green
And some high speed overhead traffic
whistling by
Home at last
Just in time for the sun
Reflecting on Pink
And a few more go past
and again
and again
and some very tame Bream
And then this in the Daily for those that missed it
A much more civilised breakfast with Steve and Shane
and the gang
And now you can feel better as B&B Antarctica gets underway. Feel warm people.
All the best for the week
Brian

Brilliant blog I just love so many of your photos
those beloved green plants – the limboing ladies at the point that tell me the swim is swum, the pics with the pink reflection etc etc
that arctic plunge makes me feel guilty about not making this am. The chill last night and the weatherman on the news put me off but excuses no more I will be there tmrw
thanks for a great blog

Jules, any chance of popping over with Sir M at the same time? It’s sure to be warm and sunny if you come (not!). After our long break, Sir M might be the only person I could keep up with:-))

Hi B&Bs – I’m in the ice hole in Durmont D’Urville at 66.40E 140.00S at the French Antarctic station. I’m from Tassie but whenever I visit Sydney I swim with the B&B. I took my pink
cap when went ‘down south’ for work this year. My brother, Matthew Hawkins, is a regular B&B swimmer. He feels the cold unlike his sister (me)!! Cathy Hawkins
