So nice to have what we consider the old May norm, crisp morning, sunny skies and warm, calm seas.
The report from the 6.30ers, Trooper, Squirrel and Caplesss was clear, flat and no jellies. I forgot to ask where the dripping blood injury came from so we'll have to use our imagination on that.
Bin waiting patiently for the 7am call.
Lindsay and Kim back after a holiday on Herron. Can you compare!?
Louise and Cath swimming again after a long period away welcoming relatively newbie Maddie.
So after the early report I was looking forward to the swim. Temperature is slowly falling (to be expected I guess) but still lovely at 20.9, viz pretty good but still murky patches and a funny smell at half way, which might have been the truck emptying the oil at the bower cafe? As for the jellies, I got stung so obviously they are still there, though not many (Di, if you're readingin the UK don't forget to bring back more sting cream!) . It was karma that after my sting I saw a bunch of fish eating another jelly! I saw a couple of duskies and fiddler ray at the point, other saw the cuttlefish so that's all a good sign.
These are the jellies but not my photo!
Great morning for enjoying the post swim coffee and sunshine.
Enjoy! Amanda
Announcement:
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.
