45 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Another magical swim with the sun peaking through the clouds just as we were gathering at the point making a very pretty start. The water is warming up; we’re in the 18’s now, ‘finally’… !
5 hardy souls enjoyed a double lap again.
A few people have said they’re keen for an early Bolderdash to Queensie and back before the regular 7am swim tomorrow, meeting in the usual place at 5.50am.
James Goins sent in a report from the ferry, there were whales just off Manly Wharf at 7.40am this morning ! Manly Beach tomorrow please whales 🙂
Little baby white whale you will be most welcome to join us for a swim on your way past, we know you’ll love it 😉

I tell you what if you have the wrong equipment that swim is torture! Had to use other goggles today – that made me crossed eyed and blind ! hee hee
MASSIVE gimbal/gimble/Jimble??.. slithered up my arm today – it felt like an octopus!! Midge felt it too… But no sting?!!
NOT too cold at the moment – what a difference that 1 degree or so increase!
And of course great swim as always!!!

Tomorrow morning is looking good with a low swell and maybe some sunshine! I might even be tempted to do a Bolderdash if anyone is interested. I would be starting a bit before 6 as I would like to get back for the 7am swim and I am probably a little slower than the ‘usuals’. Maybe meet at 5.50 but get going quickly????

I am planning to come bolderdashing. I will be swimming in a state of sustained teror out there in the dark. Calling out to the white whale.
btw
I heard that a fast ferry HIT a whale in the harbour today…:-(
