Rusty and Caroline’s Pitch Report
Just before dawn the wind peaks at 40km/hour. North East. No where to hide. Messy onshore slop. High tide 1224 per Willy, there’s a lot of sand showing. A big sandbank creating a short wave at the point. Chippo cites the seagull rule, no seagulls = no blueys. We stumble across a 6 foot bluey with a tail like a Macaques monkey . My head vibrates with the thought of that wrapping around me. I stab it in the head, try and float now!. 6.30 gathers on the wall. Sage words from Drinksy “We’re not swimming in that shit”. By contrast the other side is clear, flat, and inviting. Swimming in the light rain. A seal at the Skiff Club, a big school of bait half way to the bog roll. The Olympians keep heading to Little Manly, we turn after shooting the breeze.
Guy measures and deals in truth. He’s swimming ocean side, pictures himself swimming away from a shipwreck battling back to shore. My life feels like that sometime!
Andre the Master Baker was sighted early heading out, Sebastian normally early has decided to walk instead.
Sarah & Jon stretch and contemplate
There goes a supernova, What a pushover, yeah
I'm scared, it's bigger than me
Stevo has returned from 6 months drinking at the Cross. We reminisce about brewing beer, big barrels of Coopers. I hide the celebratory Kraken in my bag in case he can smell it.
Zig Zag sleeps in, but spots a seal from her balcony. Doesn't count.
Harbourside the 6.09 express splinter group comes out of exile and the 630 is complete again. Almost all went on to Little Manly which is 3k. Getting some distance in the legs and arms before some summer swims?
Shooting stars never stop, Even when they reach the top
Stealthy reaches his 500km milestone today. We sneak out the Kraken sea monster spiced rum, and think about (and don’t) form an arch. The rum will do.
The noblest clay. the most costly marble, man, is here kneaded and cut, and to the
sound of the chisel strokes of the Dionysian world of artists
rings out the cry of the Eleusinian mysteries
At the turning point, Chippo suggests that Stealthy swim back nude. We worry that the Express swimmers might get back from Little Manly quicker than us.
Thanks for the swim and coffee (and rum) Team. Don’t let your true love run cold!
