Vivid Dreams | lizziecantoo

https://lizziecantoo.wordpress.com/2014/05/29/vivid-dreams

On Sat’dee, I had my ‘ranty pants’ on. I was trying to get home from the Sydney Writers’ Festival but Sydney Ferries, overwhelmed once again by Vivid voyeurs, had other ideas. John Macleay brilliantly summed up my evening as more Livid than Vivid. I mean what about marathon swimmers? JBirrrd sounds over the moon with her under the moon experience. Even though it’s surely natural to be scared after all, who can forget Dory spellbound by the pretty light in Finding Nemo until she suddenly comes up clos...

Witch way? | lizziecantoo

https://lizziecantoo.wordpress.com/2014/06/22/witch-way

Much earlier this winter following the early May cold snap, Surfmuppet. The southern Autumn is well progressed and the fall of the leaves and drop in temperature has seen the muppet take on the aspect of a bear starting the long sleep of hibernation earlier than most. I feel for yer Surfmuppet. To be sure. Surprising then after going dry for almost 3 months that I should have texted Cookie this week and cast a spell on her to let me be her swimming solstice sidekick this Sun’dee. We had elected to swim ‘...

Noahs | lizziecantoo

https://lizziecantoo.wordpress.com/noahs

With all the reported shark activity at the minute, some important things to know, perhaps. Etymology uncertain. But predominantly thought to come from the Mayan word Xoc, which means fish. Until the 16th century, sharks were known to mariners as “sea dogs”. For years, surfers have been referring to sharks as “men in grey suits”. In the old country, we call them Noahs Noah’s Ark shark. Well, NOT necessary an expert in sea lice, but could be! Or swim with a lawyer? He (George H. Burgess, International...

Culcha | lizziecantoo

https://lizziecantoo.wordpress.com/culcha

We’ve been learning a lot of the lingo so we can talk like ocean swimming pros. Some of it is cultural (in ocean swimming culcha). And some technical. Here’s some of the stuff we’ve learned. Float on the surface of the water – pronounced booey as in Louis by colonials who can’t speak the Queen’s English. Float on the surface of the water – pronounced boy as in toy. The standard buoy shapes are cylindrical. Also known as nun buoy), spherical. Famous WA ocean swim as opposed to an observation on life.

Pickled and proud | lizziecantoo

https://lizziecantoo.wordpress.com/2013/10/18/pickled-and-proud

Last year, I wrote about my first ocean swim ‘surfari’ on Heron Island. This year, I returned for the sequel. Yet again, it was awesome. The swimbeciles, the Murwillumbah Brass Monkies and Tim the Turtleman were missed but instead there were just as many characters like the laydees who wore their Sydney Skinny. The 1km was a bit more challenging this year (for those of us that went the whole. Way round the course although most people didn’t notice the short cuts being. But on the subject of stories, I wa...

Wonga | lizziecantoo

Lolly, wonga, wedge. So, if you have a moment and any pennies to spare, please click here. To support Cure Cancer Australia:. Trust me. This ain’t no proverbial walk in the park. In training, I’ve been ravished by sea lice, apparently chased by a shark and got hickeys from chafing from my togs. I have learned more than anyone should about types of lube and seaweed. In last year’s brass monkies ocean temperatures, I ended up midly hypothermic more than once. 2 Responses to “Wonga”. He is a comic legend!

The Bottom Line | lizziecantoo

https://lizziecantoo.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/the-bottom-line

I am reading Fergus Fricke’s excellent book, Getting to the Bottom of Balmain’s Dunnies. But, this isn’t an entry about my fascination with defacating history. It’s less about what to do with what comes out than whether we should let it hang out. The merits of newd versus wetsuit swimming are oft debated in ocean swims culcha (including a bit here. But is skinny dipping the (to use a meaningless, abused, advertising and marketing buzzword) new paradigm in ocean swimming? Maybe it’s performance enhancing?

Bula! | lizziecantoo

Mana is credited as coming from heaven. I went there for my second swim surfari. In Fijian, Mana means magic. It was. As Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton contemplate retirement, ocean swim commentary could be the next new challenge for them. Here’s how they might have seen it. Latex bonnet drama meets travel documentary/sports broadcast. Start of the 3km swim. 8211; Mana Island, the largest resort on the Mamanuca Islands, set for Survivor and within a stone’s throw of Castaway island. And the porters...
