Such a great swim this morning. I hope some of you weren't put off by the early rain. It was clear, warm, calmish and glorious! Giant Cuttlefish are around and this one was showing off in front of the shed today. It's mating season and the males are on the prowl for females. I did discover females can mate up to 17 times a day with 2 or 3 males so be on the look out for some interesting sightings!
I love this photo. Shelley and Louise catch up as they head in. Champ looks back. Isn't the light stunning!
Juliette and Andrew bring a new swimmer down this morning. She's sure to get addicted!
Al used to be a regular swimmer with us but is now living in WA. Our swim beats Rockingham he says!
Rusty is back from a great holiday in the UK where it didn't rain once! His Mum always reads the blog 'Hi Ann' ;-)
The rain had gone away for the 7am swim and the morning light was stunning!
Deb, Nicci, Georgina, Cath and Shelly about to go in.
Friday blogger Rusty and mate, after his early swim.
These three, Suzie, Kate and Kara look happy and smug. They saw a Cuttlefish and a Turtle!
It was calm with a few gentle waves today. The water is now just on 20 degrees but when that first wave hits you its cold!
A lot of us were excited about seeing a Giant Cuttlefish or even 2 today and one put on quite a show for me near the shed. Here he is looking a bit crafty and suspicious.
Now he's being clever and his skin is starting to look like the rock!
Here he's smooth and sleek as he swims off.
Looking a bit coy here as he tucks his arms and tentacles in!
Brave and bold here as he looks me in the eye and flares his tentacles! They are such masters of disguise!

B&B monthly dinner - it will be a good one - a few episodes of Yes Prime Minister or Utopia will prepare you well!
Tuesday 10th May 2022
The speaker at our next monthly dinner, to be held on Tuesday May 10th at Bluewater Café at 6.30 pm, will be one of our swimmers, Ranya Alkadamani. Ranya, whose career as a political media adviser involved traveling the world with a former foreign minister, will take us behind the scenes of the dark art of political electioneering. These advisors, professional guns for hire who sell their skills to the highest bidder, are a strong determinant on who we vote for. Sometimes more Yes Prime Minister than West Wing, this insight into the secrets of political manoeuvring will be totally enlightening and entertaining. So, forget about the Federal election, open your mind and park your politics at the door.
The cost of the dinner is great value at only $30 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each (please note, NO BYO). Bookings are essential, so to avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book HERE.
lots of love
Lainey
