Only two idiots head to the post today 15


Bevan, Linda, and Chris were the only starters this morning, however, Linda stayed in shallower waters. Maybe the news story last night had something to do with it?
Apparently, Chris and Bevan had a slow, casual swim out to the post, around Gwen and back to the beach.

Maybe Richard can work out the probability of everyone showing up tomorrow?

    Dave….water in close is still dirty with that floating brown weed….and happy to put it to a vote for 6.00 versus 6.15am.

      Sutho, I piss myself laughing every time I look at your thumbnail. Can I add the full size version to the photos of “The Gang”?

    Just went for a few laps….busy….1 other guy in the water! How does 6.15am (in the water) sound as a compromise? That is, be ther 5-10 minutes earlier for the warm up chat & ‘dis-robing’ & then anchors away

      Just went down the road for a coffee and despite the wind, it is still muggy! Bring on the cold, I say!
      We’ll see how it goes with the time but you guys are in such a hurry with school duties, that earlier is probably better. However, as we get further into the year, the mornings get darker, so the time will sort itself out 🙂

    …great, the secret is out ! The splinter group was going to be called the Morons….but a shark attack will give them an easy headline…MORONS MAULED ! Went at 7.35 this morning and again, tres nice ! Only a week and a bit for the sun to be back out. Have we discussed a new swim start time…6.00am ??

      Was the water clear Ian? It will be back to 6am no doubt and then we’ll have no excuse 😉

    The dark mornings are keeping me away….and there is no truth to the rumour that Sutho is creating a ‘breakaway’ group to swim at 8.45am (meet you at the same spot Sutho – who else is coming today?)

      At least you guys are still swimming…. I’ve been a bit slack and missed the last two mornings…

    Not sure what the story was last night but the story today from Nelson Bay doesn’t help! I did swim at 8.45am after my dental appointment and it was warm,clear and sunny.
    I may be a non starter until daylight savings buggers off. Oh,re Ken’s sign…I’ll tell him it’s a cracker but talk about keeping it simple @#@!!!

      They tagged some sharks and were showing where they roam. Of course Balmoral was mentioned…but it’s the ocean so what do you expect?!

      I’m less enthused about the dark starts I must admit…
