Shark Bait

Black Ice have indirectly made the front page news today with our resident
shark bait member, Yvonne Mooyman, being plucked out of the bay by a helicopter last night after a bronze whaler came within 15 metres of her just off Parkdale beach. This is the second time this has happened to Yvonne . If it's not sharks chasing her, it's those bloody jellyfish she attracts. Hopefully she still has seven lives left. It did not stop her from training again this morning, but she insisted that we stay in close but you know that once you set foot in salt water you are always swimming with sharks.

Thanks to Andy and Janine for putting on a great Christmas party for Black Ice. More thanks to Terry's horse for finally winning, but no one backed it. Dover are still way out on top in the soccer.

Last week the team had a three hour swim at lake Lysterfield in the fresh water with all swimmers complaining of stiff muscles due to the saltless water. Harry is back from his second honeymoon cruise (Which he won. He also picked up the free coffee at Watercress)

The Black Ice name is popping up everywhere with Black Ice beer, condoms, lollies,
music (the new AC-DC album) Swimming Team. So if you can find any more, please e-mail us at our website or at our comments section.

Remember the Black Ice champagne Xmas breakfast in two weeks time at Watercress.

Also thanks to Steve Munatones for accepting Black Ice on his website at www.10Kswimmer.com and joining the swimmers' profile. Many thanks to my English teacher, Kevin Cassidy, for his spelling corrections. I only went to a public school, not the Bluestone College Private School like you, Kevin.
