A super Winter dawn, seen from the top of Upper Almora Street, greeted the intrepid Swimming idiots this morning......Dave U., Chris ...busily snapping away using his SONY RX100 Mark I camera, Rob J., Judy, RBJ and myself. Bevan of course riding across, through , over , around all State borders on his motorbike. It's been so dark the last few morns' that the orange & purple glow of a beckoning sunrise was a welcome sight for all. Water felt remarkably good and a tad warmer than the last days and steady at a very official "Ruth 16 degrees"......which of course is different to a "Dave Sanney 16 degrees"....where are you Dave ? The cold beach shower afterwards however is not so welcoming at a frosty 11-12 degrees. The good news too...was that most Balmoral residents could see this sunrise.....as Chris new bus was not parked by the foreshore....so all had a clear view. Always present was Rod, Ruth, Christine and I'm sure Sutho' somewhere ...no doubt swimming back from Chinaman's Beach with a miners light on his cap. Cheers all....good to be back in the water..... Stephen (the other Richard)

Shook my wetsuit out at home after this mornings swim & this is what I collected.....so added it to the Vodka I was pouring myself to warm up. Geez....6 degrees out...with a cooling westerly breeze....apparent temp. 4 degrees reportedly....Those two big sluggo' models who got out before us (Judy...you know the gents)..took a water temp of 12.4 degrees....and told Dave where to shove his reading....hahahahaha. IDIOTS ! Bravo to all the brave souls...Dave U, Dave S. and Ed (our best wishes to your Mum/grand-ma guys), Bevan,Chris & of course Sutho chasing up the rear...who then took off for another kilometre swim without us... We finished off after "polar bear' with a sensational swim down the coast & hugging the clear shoreline before the rain arrives this weekend..... ps. That cold shower felt like it was raining nails this morning . pps. Didn't see those 3 lady 'Imposters' this morning eh ?
