06/03/2011 – Mardi Gras Swim

Over 87 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.

The ocean was inspired by the colorful and diverse Mardi Gras parade.

Oh my gosh it was divine this morning; clear, flat and warm. We saw 2 kingfish, a large yellow catfish playing with a crimson banded wrasse, 15 dusky whaler sharks, groupers, sting rays, jelly fish but not the stingy kind, garfish, mullet, red morwong, silversweep, old wives and yes they are fish and not the swimmers… mado, eastern hula fish and giant luderick to name just a few… 🙂

Check out this weekend’s manly daily, pages 28-30, a great article on Bruce Paterson and as we are an important part of Bruce’s life we got a mention and a photo 🙂
