Despite the grey skies and threat of rain at any moment, Bubba had no qualms about returning to the beach to see the idiots who would be swimming today. And there were plenty. Judy, fresh from her travels abroad, Ruth up from Wollongong, Dave down from Neutral Bay, Linda from across the bridge, and the other locals comprising Judith, Janice, Robyn, Lyn, Robert, Bob, Chris, Di, Chris, Rod, Gail, Deb, Pam, and a few more whose names allude me.
The water was choppy so Judy, Dave, and Chris decided to head across to the island and then follow the cones to the rocks at Raglan St. Despite a long hiatus from swimming, Judy swam well, as did Chris, who enjoyed the pace and the company having been abandoned for a few days. Dave who is currently suffering from stiff neckitis managed to keep up too. The return leg was back to the dirty cone and a dog-paddle chin wag to finish.
As for the dreaded Jimbles, I spied one on the way to the island and touched something jelly-like whilst chewing the fat, but apart from that, no problems. Di mentioned getting stung on the wrist yesterday and Chris clobbered one too… which is not recommended! I wonder when the little blighters are going to POQ?!
17.1C in the water today – thanks Ken!
Tomorrow it’s around the island for the adventurous types.
Bevan’s swimming hole at present …
And a photo of Bubba for those not in the know…
