Many will have households and gardens either adding the to the electricity bill or tapping into are ample solar resources to brighten the nights.
Above: Less than two weeks until Christmas in a year of total uncertainty.
Above: On the subject of brightness, you could probably do a 5.30am swim at this time of the year and have sufficient lighting.
Above: Paul, Rowan, Peter and Jen. : It’s that time of the year when B&Bers encourage the younger generation to enjoy the that early swim. Great to see Peter and Jen with their son, Rowan.
Above: Greg and his daughter Cassie are making the Sunday swim a regular event. Greg is using paddles and fins in order to keep up.
Above: Bumped into Jeff who was savouring his home brewed cup of coffee before deciding whether to go for a 6.30am surf or a swim. Decisions, decisions…
Above: Great to catch up with Roger again. He did something to his back but his finding his regular swim is helping to put things in sync again.
Above: Karen and Colin enjoyed their Sunday swim and are looking forward to the Christmas break to spend quality time with family.
Above: Today's stats.
Above: While most state borders are opening new checkpoints are going up. There is concern that Checkpoint Charlie is going up next to the Surf Club. Will we need special online permits to get through this gate? If the get closes will we have choose whether we stay on the North or South side? What is it for? Any ideas?
Above: Charl and Kerry. Yes that is Charl not me! As 2020 heads toward its final weeks they are tallying metres swum as well as totals of dogs patted and coffees consumed
Stay safe and remember it ain’t over till it’s over.

Tilly Sammut needs your help
My name is Tilly Sammut. I am 12 years old, and I wanted to raise money for the homeless specifically Orange Sky. They are a company that do the laundry and provide showers to the homeless, I wanted to help the homeless in a way I just didn’t know how. As part of my inquiry I came across Orange Sky. I was so inspired by what they do each day and I was determined to help them. So on the 21st of December I will be doing a 6km ocean swim in Manly, I would love to raise at least $500 but more or less is fine. I would really appreciate if you could sponsor me when I swim. Please take a moment to check out my GoFundMe campaign:
