06/10/2020 - Friendly Shark Week

There have been so many shark sightings whilst swimming the past week! I mean the harmless variety of shark of course. On Saturday lots of swimmers got to see a beautiful Grey Nurse shark (or even 2,3 possibly 4!) and there have been lots of Port Jacksons and Wobbegongs about!... Continue reading

Of course Anne but I usually spot stuff by looking out for other swimmers that have spotted stuff!

That's what Rania said as we got out of the water after seeing the graceful Grey Nurse Shark swimming around the rocks! It made my day too. Very lucky to catch it looking at a Port Jackson in the same shot! BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM GROUP IS CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING... Continue reading

Nice blog Petra! Sorry just catching up with my blog reading!

Thanks for including Julie Hill's memorial swim Anne. She was such a joyjul spirit and only 51 when she passed away 2 years ago. Love the scarf and padded cap but it's really not on with the paddlers coming in straight through our group. I think Peter may have had a narrow escape last week too.

4/07/2020 - Swimming with PJs (Sharks not Pyjamas!)

A couple of PJs, Port Jackson Sharks swimming over the rocks at The Bower! These harmless sharks appear when the water hits 17 degrees. Well it was 15.8 again today...a stunning, sunshiney morning with sunrise at 6.43am! BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS... Continue reading

Little Sarah was dying to get back in the water today in spite of a badly sprained ankle. She didn't let a bit of rain, wind and a forecast of stormy seas put her off! It was a really lovely swim this morning and the rain stopped around 7am. I... Continue reading

It was very cold though, probably 15.5 again... but endorphins were flowing and nobody (really) complained! It was calm, incredibly clear and... Continue reading
