It doesn’t hurt as much when you close your eyes.

Mollymook News correction: Surf God Huey, ruler of good weather and sick waves mistakenly thought he was lining up Raymondo for a series of big waves in last weeks article whereas in fact it was poor Ben who took Huey’s punishment. Huey offers Ben his apologies.

John has spent a number of sessions with me providing information into the Sunday swimmers during those early years. It was back then that he bought an underwater camera to take pics of the dolphins who were regular visitors to Mollymook. John also produced the original swim caps he had made for the Sunday swimmers. Although our history is brief, there are some wonderful stories emerging. Stay tuned ….
