Simon said that I would be able to see the sand all the way. He was right but as he and the other 630 swimmers swam in the dark, I wonder how they saw it. At least I was able to identify the reason: David Clarity (not Carradine) was in Croatia recently where it was very clear and now he swam in Cabbage Tree Bay. Where it is clear. So QED. He has brought the super clear waters.
Bon voyage to Lucy who is heading off to Singapore but apparently not being deported. Hello to Sarah and Jon in HongKong. Hello to Leif from Utah - will you be back in August again?
I saw Juliette at Shelly but where was Andrew? Looking at the turtle!!!! Which hid from me on the swim back even though I zig zaged and lingered.

Ready to go in
This swimmer and I are glad there is no sound recording as we go in. Keep arms up for armpit protection as long as possible.
The return of the early swimmers.

B&B monthly dinner – Tuesday 12th July 2022
At our next monthly dinner, to be held on Tuesday July 12th at Bluewater Café at 6.30 pm, the guest speaker will be Prof. Adriana Verges, the lead researcher on Operation Crayweed. Adriana will revisit Cabbage Tree Bay with an update on this project as well as the Living Seawall at Fairy Bower Pool. The seaweeds and sea grasses are the underwater forests that fuel entire ecosystems to provide food and shelter for thousands of organisms. We swim with them every day and now you can get an in-depth look at what is blooming below the surface, and the return of various marine species. Also, discover what we can do to aid the rewilding of these underwater seascapes.
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.
