Your expectations can affect how things turn out. The rain overnight and the slightly cooler temperatures made people wonder about coming for a swim. But those who did were very glad. Calm waters. Gentle waves. Clear as it can be. Lots of fish about. Delightful. The sky was dramatic so this ...

Friday 11 February 2022 Best Swim Ever. Again
It was my goal to photograph the 6.30 swimmers in action but my camera's capability was inadequate to the task. So I had to get in their way. Here is one swimmer who could not believe what he saw when he turned (very expertly; with one goggle only out of the water) to breathe And here is the ...
