Weedy Wednesday

Sawabona ( means ‘I see you’ – a traditional and meaningful hello greeting  in Africa).

It’s great to be back in the ocean and back at CTB. Thing about CTB is it’s very weedy at the moment and after my recent river swims in the UK where it was also weedy, it got me thinking of all things weed.
And this is the northern beaches after all.

The 7 am scene today. Moody.

The temperature mild, the water calm with a good chance of weed

Some actual weed looking magnificent posing on the beach

I asked others what they thought of weed

The FFF’s laughed except for Nipper (RHS) who had a brush with a rock trying shortcut in a bid to win the race. He couldn’t see the rock for the weed. Simon, Shanny Chris the Driver, Suzie, Squirrel, Coatsey and Nipper.

Jon and Matt babysitting  the cute Mackenzie also  laughed when I mentioned weed. They asked what kind. Mackenzie was not impressed.

James, Mackenzie’s father thought of his garden weeds and (faarking) bindis on the front lawn when I mentioned weed. Thats what he says …seen here looking wistfully into the distance.

When I asked Scotty, Reeco and Mikey (aka Skattie) about weed. Mikey said he’d wee’d  in the ocean did that count. Always one joker in the pack hey. Scott and Reece allegedly wearing wetsuits to make them go faster.

JK simply waved his BnB apparel around like a weedo

And after the swim Drinks and Sticks present Mum Lenore and Helen her friend with BNB caps. Wonderful to have a trio of Drinkwater’s in the BNB.

The poet and Kara laughed loud when I mentioned weed they quite forgot the water kind. Weed is such fun.

Trooper was asked about weed before he sped off on his bike and chose to divert attention from the subject by showing off his  Drinks Express T shirt. Mmmmm and we were talking seaweed.
