EYEBRIGHT SWIM CANCELLED
It’s a bit of a horror story down by the beach and all along Rocks Rd, with waves crashing up over the road even two hours before high tide. The winds are predicted to increase during the day. It doesn’t seem that there are available dates for a rerun later in the season, but more news about that later.
This is the 33rd Eyebright Mile. The best times from previous years are available – click here
