56 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Brendan Maher, Gaetan Guilhon and Michael Christie enjoyed an early Bolderdash to Queenscliff and back this morning as evidenced on Sprout Daily today: daily.sproutdaily.com
Gaetan took some superb photos, check out the magnificent sunrise !! It might be the only time the sun gets seen today too by the look of the clouds.
There were a few fantastic costumes on display this morning, not just hats for our fancy dress Melbourne ‘Cap’ Swim. But for sure, hands down, the prize for the best costume went to Yasmin Maksut in her stiletto flippers, hot pink dress, fasinator, handbag, cap and goggles. Absolutely brilliant Yasmin, you’re a star !! Love the under water photo of Yasmin courtesy of Stephen Coulter too.
Due to popular request our B&B 2012 Calendar is now available !!!
One of those must have things to see you through the year 😉 They make the prefect christmas pressie if you’re looking for something light weight to post to friends and family overseas too, so they can enjoy a little part of what you enjoy every day of the year.
You can buy them online now by clicking here or direct from me after any swim as of mid next week. There will be a limited print run so make sure you don’t miss out…
How about joining us for a B&B swim or 10 in the beautiful, clear, tranquil waters of Bora Bora this December !! You keen… ? To learn more click here If you would like to come please let me know asap, as it’s not far away !!

Yasmin, you rock!!
I hope you show these photos to your school kids today. You are the best dressed in all of Sydney, hands down.

What beautiful conditions for the unofficial Bolderdash this morning. Flat and clear but the promised sunshine only lasted for about 30 seconds.[Just long enough for Gaetan to get a photo in fact]
Tomorrow will be even better with the swell halving and virtually no wind AND sunshine promised again.
It should be a great day to “have a go” if you are thinking of it.
5.50am is a great time to get going for the day!!

Anna, the kids’ dads will certainly also appreciate the photos, specially the last one :-)))
You guys all look terrific, and I certainly love the stilettos flippers, ahaha, brilliant idea!!! (you could have removed the barcode label on the funnels though Yasmin :-)))

Great dress-style and super pics! Enjoy the lovely swims….
Anna, the documentary film I highly recommended (viewed on Cathay Pacific) was: “Men Who Swim” – it’s about an hour, a very humorous, poignant film about a group of middle-aged odd-bod guys in Sweden who form a synchronized swimming team….any B&B’s would enjoy it!
