Morning all and another cracker start to the day with small 1/2 metre swell and next to no wind from the south so perfect for the corner. Water was clearer than I have seen it for a while and with declining swell through to Saturday and westerly winds you can expect better days ahead as the swell fades to ripples. Mind you that doesn't bode well for the water temps which I expect will fall with rain expected later today through to Thursday.
Around 160 on deck this morning and despite the 17.7 degrees, it was full steam ahead.
A well spread field for the "LETS GO".
A last some SUn to warm the cockles.
Nice and clear and fishies everywhere.
By the home run we had more Sunshine.
Sensational finish
Nothing like sharing a hot shower
Michael Sheehan hits the road again so thought we better all jump in for a farewell photo.
And this great shot I saw this morning worthy of sharing
Have a great week people and be good.
Cheers - Brian
PS Thanks to all those who came along for the Winter Warmer. Thanks to all the participation it was a fun night and I do believe the B&B anthem had some life breathed into it for the first time.

WINTER BADGES:
The Winter swimming season is finally here!
Although the water temperature may be a little colder than you might like, there are several advantages of swimming in winter, including flat seas, good visibility and no bluebottles.
Perhaps the biggest advantage is that you can also qualify for a winter badge by swimming a minimum of 20 times between 1st June and 31st August.
You must also swim in at least 7 different weeks. If you manage to do all of your qualifying swims without a wetsuit (or other thermal enhancing equipment), you will also qualify for the coveted WWW badge (Winter without wetsuit).
So start now, and don’t forget to log your swims to qualify.
