86 Bold Beauties joined us this morning!
A beautiful sunrise… hid what lurked beneath!
Yep it’s still pretty scarey!
This is on the swim out to the Point – and no my photography is not blurry..this is what it looked like! (actually the photo is blurry but this IS pretty much what it looked like!) 🙂
…. above the water it is spectacular!
But below…weird alien like creatures hovered about..oh no wait that’s John K!
Ah here is an alien..freaky huh!
Not an alien but a guess the butt??! you never will!
The swim itself was lovely and fairly calm!
We made it back!
Not sure why this sign was up???

That’s an interesting article Stephen. I’ve never heard of the Cownose Ray.

Y’all might be interested in an article in the March “Peninsula Living” about a newly formed group, Friends of Cabbage Tree Bay. It “aims to educate visitors and locals about the treasures within our waters and why we need to preserve them for generations to come”. For more info visit the Manly Environment Centre at 41 Belgrave St., or go to their website.

The machine won’t let me give you the website! It must think it’s an email address. Computers are so feeble.

Great job, Lesbutt. I actually saw quite a few fish today which helped make me too slow for Lips even (my excuse)! You can see him giving me a hard time and telling me to get back in my wetsuit…:-)
Great pics, Stephen – love the second one with the mystery wink;-))

And Lesbutt, hope you are more impressed with Vanessa’s antics now than you looked the other day…. Vanessa, glad to see you survived at least:-)

Forgot to say it’s a volunteer group, and B&B gets a favorable mention in the article.

Recognised the speedos! Plus I have a sophisticated “butt recognition programme” installed on my laptop. Money well spent.
What is my prize?

Gosh you were slow this morning LSA.. even for my humble standards! 🙂
Either wetsuit back on or 6:50am start tomorrow. Up to you!

Tradition has it that the prize for guessing a butt photo is a romantic evening with the butt in question.. in this case, for Lesley to organize for you and Bruce. Congrats!

I just read Michael Teys’ extremely funny, insightful and accurate story of what it’s like to swim Rotto (not Rotty :-)) . Brilliant!

Above link is to an image search on Bruce’s photo from this morning. Google now let’s you search by photo – have a look – some funny results. What might other blog photos find?

There is a fine blogster called Lesbutt
Is she gorgeous? Oh, certainly yes, – but
She causes some troubles
With wxxs and speech bubbles
She’s a jokester our police would supress, SHUT!

There will be another ‘Guess the butt’ tomorrow. Great photos of the sunrise Leswee, made me very envious. I couldn’t wait for SC’s thing to down load but Michael’s Rotto account was fantastic. We have to make a big fuss of Robin when he comes back. It was so unfair he got pulled out with only 1.7 kms to go. (When he would have made it easily ccording to MC.)
I’m expecting LSA, Paige and Inez to be signing up for Rotto next year! See you tomorrow for some more murky water swimming!
How come you let Shauny and Storchy get on top of you LSA?
