Vale Ken

This dawn photo shows that the great Kenneth Kingsley Palmer was looking over us all as we took a memorial swim out to the Cat and around the Pin in his memory . The first winter swim (sans Westuits) for Bevan, Chris, Dave U Dave Sanney & SBJ …all having a ‘dippy dunker’ in his memory … Linda,Tony, Chrissy, Ruth & others all there of course . Sutho taking a swim a little later. Ken’s service to be held this morning at  the Scots Kirk Church, Mosman. VALE KEN !   Sincerest condolences and big  hugs to wife Robyn.

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 ?
