What a mornin'! The water temperature was the warmest I have felt it this season - and ALMOST didn't have to slowly walk in, wincing as the water gets closer and closer to my belly button.. I am sure I am not the only one who starts the swim like this! The conditions were the glassiest in a while, a lovely change from the onshore bump and big swell over the weekend. There were whispers of some Dusky Whalers at the point from the earlier swimmers- but I am the last person that will spot anything swimming- did anyone manage to see them!?
Babewatchers Tom and Lachie- Tom starting his birthday in the best way possible; with a triple b n b swim! Happy Birthday Tom!
The usual attempt at a good underwater shot - I actually don't mind this one!
A few Babewatch bobble heads on the way to Shelly.
Big Babewatch group this morning!
Myself, Tamara and Anika attempting a selfie with the bnb camera.. very attractive with the goggle and cap combo.
A birthday breaky at our favourite- Bluewater!
Another beautiful start to Tuesday- wouldn't have it any other way. See you next week!
