Huey turned on a deadset pearler for the little journey swim at Caves Beach today. Glorious weather, lovely water temperature, with a southerly swell standing, and even breaking at times on the bombie out the back, halfway along the course. Followed by four to five foot faced sets on the beach break. Not too sucky to ride but more than steep enough to send you down the mine if you didn't time it right.
Congratulations to the organisers and volunteers on a very well run event, particularly the water safety people. Clubbies of lesser mettle would have called this one off, on account of the aquabumps. Your clear and concise directions and easily read buoys, along with a bit of help from Huey made for some pretty quick times.
I'll certainly be back next season with my wife n kids. The live entertainment, free barbie, great venue, and convivial atmosphere of this event have certainly raised the bar in the family friendly stakes. Keep the date, it's yours now.
A warning to any organisers of other swims who are thinking of going up against this one at the same time next year:
You will lose!
