Fab Four endure cooler start to November


It was a chilly start for the first day of November and Dave and Bevan had good reason to question the wetsuit rule. The water temp of 19C felt icy in the shallows and was not helped by the cooler air temp and grey skies. The sun had it’s work cut out for it trying to penetrate the cloud cover. Dave and Bevan headed out around “Dave’s pin” whilst Judy and Linda headed up the middle. Pilates is certainly paying off for Judy as she was on fire and easily reached the post before Linda, Bevan and Dave. It was a tight finish. Heading around Gwen and down to the far cone (for a change), Dave swam strongly (or thought he was) to get ahead of Judy only to find that she was close on his heels. Well done Judy! Great effort! Start time has moved to 6.15am or thereabouts. The Seasoned Idiots were well represented by the likes of Mike, Warren, Malcolm, Dennis, Vic, Di, Peter and Meryl.


About Dave

Dave has been an idiot for longer than he can remember. However, his Real Idiot status was confirmed about 20 years ago when Linda and Bevan coaxed him out to the post. Developer and administrator of this website as well as reporter, photographer, and chief spell-checker. Thankfully, other idiots contribute to the site to keep it interesting...
