How much fun did we have today?
These people are all happy with the weather and the water temperature which is 20.9 today!
Congrats to all those swimmers that attempted the first 6km badge yesterday, fantastic to hear.
The line of people into the water today was huge….they just kept appearing!

Signing off Snorkles
B&B Attendance Login App
Being an eco friendly mob, we are aiming to reduce our paper consumption by switching to the B&B Login App. The App has the benefit of providing you with a history of your swims. Log your swim between 5am and 9am for the easy way to ensure your swim is recorded in the daily attendance and on the Pacific Challenge.
To get started, please send an email to Ian Forster (ugoboyo@gmail.com). He will check that your email address is activated on the attendance register then send you info on how to get started. Happy clicking.

Short but very sweet Snorkles. It looked a gorgeous swim and the photo of all those old wives is great! Back from Bali, looking forward to swimming soon!

Nice work Snorks.. requesting a few photos from your inflatable race please. I heard you, Marije, and Corinne did really really well. Did you win?

Quick with Quality, Snorkles! I wonder what style of ‘inflatable’ was your vehicle of choice for the race?

Mariije and I had what’s known as a dud craft…..the only prize we would have won would have been ‘Last vessel to leave the beach’ or ‘most towed by the surf life rescue boat’
Face book has the evidence …..

Funny that. Rumour has it that Shaun had to rush off to be with a big inflatable too!
Enjoy the day
