86 Bold & Beautiful swimmers
7am came an hour early this morning but the sun was well and truly up
and most of us were wide awake
The Catfish was swirling around amongst all the suspended sand off the point
as we all gathered in the calm waters above
There were only a handful of jimbles left from yesterday’s armada making it a much more peaceful swim across the bay today 🙂
With a nice little wave that had come up by the time we got back
A few people turned up as we were getting dry and wondered why so many people had done an early lap 😉 Didn’t didn’t miss out though as they were able to join in with the 10 double lappers.
The sun was sooo bright this morning I’m not sure today’s blog tarts are identifiable for the spreddy Sharon 😉
Our lovely Michelle Sparkes caught up with the beautiful Irish Liz during her recent holiday and they made a little movie for us ! Watch it here It’s hilarious 🙂
Some lovely photos from this morning courtesy of Simon
As well as some easy “name the swimmers shots” which Simon also took for you last Thursday
along with a couple of Thursday’s doublers
Hopefully everyone will have their clocks right by tomorrow, so look forward to seeing you all then at 7am 🙂

Liz & Michelle, fab movie. Liz, can’t wait to welcome you back in Dec!
As for the ‘so bright’ bog tarts – that was too easy: E-laine (who, as we know, draws the camera like a magnet), little me and partner Rainer.,

Brilliant ‘on-location’ reporting there, Michelle! You really are a sparkle.
Best wishes for your mum’s birthday today, I hope she is well enough to enjoy your pressie.

Bugger forgot about clocks or maybe it was the alcohol last night!! 🙂 Great video Michelle… good to see So many b&b swimmers at Murrays last night!

Only put on the wettie as a Jimble barrier Aly but they get my arms anyway 🙂 Not sure if I like being called a ‘Bog Tart’ Little Sarah. ( Bogs are toilets in Birmingham!)
I think I should get double spreddy points for being the only person who swam after going to The Boatshed last night. Where were the rest of you?

Oops, I thought the ‘Tart’ part was bad enough and now I’ve made it ten times worse:-) Lucky we got a ‘So Bright’ from Jules.
Who else was at the Boatshed – isn’t that where your dating ‘clients’ meet?

The other Bog Tarts, Stephen, Jules M, Lesley etc all made it to The Boatshed Sarah, but I’m retiring from that job 😉
