The traditional Christmas Eve swim took us round the Island to Deadman’s Beach this year. The crew included Dave, and Jasmine, Melissa and Me, Judy and special guest James Marlay. Once we’d arrived, we were joined by Sarah and John and also Georgia and Henry Marlay. And in the true spirit of Christmas, we gate-crashed Dasher’s […]

Almora Steps Xmas Party – Recap
I had best post this recap before next year’s is due… The Sunday morning gathering kicked off at 7.30am with a swim to the post with a slight chop to contend with. Dave and Chris headed left, Dave F. straight up the middle with Sutho and Bevan. “Where’s Judy?” arrived soon after. Ian in his […]

It’s been another amazing year – here’s a quick musical slideshow of the highlights of 2016. Have a great Christmas everyone! ??
Swimming Idiots – Hawaiian Club
Team, I’ve found some like-minded idiots – 2 delightful ladies (Hawaiian equivalents of Judy!) got me to join them for their swim this morning. I was planning my regular gentle 250m swim out to the wind-sock & back (might be visible in the photos) when I was encouraged to keep going a bit further out. […]
A Slow Dance and Christmas Party reminder
There was a fair turnout this morning despite the drizzle. What a difference to yesterday’s scorcher. Welcome back Rob, who has rejoined the ranks, accompanying Bevan, Chris, Judy, Dave, and Dave for a circuitous swim to the post. There are plenty of yachts seeking shelter in Hunter Bay so it was a sightseeing tour as […]
Ruth and Bev make a triumphant return!
Ruth and Bev chose the same moment to return from their respective sick beds to rejoin the idiots – which made for a celebratory atmosphere on the steps this morning. With Bev looking very svelte, Ruth full of energy and also the knowledge that Rosemary’s operation was a big success, that makes it three out […]
The week that was
Whilst I missed the first day of Summer, I made up for it today with a swim around the island accompanied by Dave, Jasmine, Judy, Stephen, and Chris. I gave myself a good head-start (places to go, people to see) and made it to the far cone off Deadmans with the other idiots not far […]
Happiness!
Cant resist posting this shot of Linda and canine friend at La Republica. Not sure which one is the happier! And in other news, Bev is out of hospital and taking a few days in WA to recover before heading back to Sydney. Hope you get back to 100% soon!
Strange triangle spotted in water behind newby Idiot
Welcome to Melissa – my niece from England who has now made to two (sequential) swims and is therefore about to out-do the B-J brigade who are still absent despite the warm water and lack of jellyfish. She was photographed today near the island to celebrate swim No 2 but there seems to be a strange […]
It’s official – the nimble season is over!
It was with a heavy heart that we lamented the end of the nimble season today. None have been spotted for a while now, so an official end to the joys of being zapped in the..well.. anywhere… has been declared. Bye bye jumbles – hope we don’t see you next year. To celebrate, Dave took […]
Friday’s Report and Sunday Sorted
