97 Bold & Beautiful swimmers
It was such a beautiful morning, you couldn’t paint it any more perfect !
In fact, it was so perfect you just wanted to wrap it up in plastic for keeps 😉
A lovely sun drenched splash amongst the brilliant clear blue sky
and a tonne of smiling faces
It was David Ingham’s first swim back since his broke his elbow ! It’s been a long time David, but we’re very happy you’re back in the swim of it all now 🙂
Bruce got creative with his new B&B cap, making a go faster slip stream fin so he can carve his way through the water. Cute 😉
Richard found this gorgeous Cuttlefish right at the point. I didn’t realise they were still around ! Cool !! See what rewards you get if you wait in the right spot 😉
We even make the sky go pink when we all huddle so tightly together 🙂
Shelly’s the place for a 1000 poses 😉
Not blue bottles on steroids ! Yikes Midge, I hope you told them there are much better places they should hang out then here !
There is seriously no end to what our desperate blog tarts will come up
with to feature each and every day… today Rainer gets a back
stretch !!! Not just from anyone, but from one of our smallest swimmers !!! Rainer is there no
shame, you would be about three times the size of Little Sarah and you look just oh so comfortable 😉
A great swim as always 🙂
In fact it was the best for Chris as he proudly beat his wife Cass for the first time 🙂
9 swimmers enjoyed the early lap into Shelly, and a few extended out a little further up to queensie. 7 continued on for a double after the main 7am swim and 4 of those (Jonny Jimble, Michael, Michael and Sam) tripled ! It must have been good 🙂
See you at Murray’s for happy hour drinks and nibbles from 6.30pm this evening. If you haven’t rsvp’d yet please do so here Look forward to seeing you all in a wee while, if not this evening, then I’ll see you at the best place there is, at the B&B swim tomorrow morning at 7am 😉
I know it’s Wednesday and you were all looking forward to Lesley’s blog, but… you got me 😉 All is not lost though, you will have Lesley for 4 days in a row this weekend whilst I’m torturing myself with a few other B&Bers in Melbourne.
A fantastic on tour photo from Jeff Lange in front of the food markets in Dongdaemun, South Korea. We miss you Jeff, look forward to seeing you soon.

Midge, that was brave!
Jules, I assure you that Rainer is light as a feather – after his Human Pyramid effort yesterday (when I think you may have blinked during the nano-sec when I threw my hands in the air), he told me today he needed to relax:-)
Joan, hope you’ve had a good trip home and enjoy showing off your tan and farewell gift from the girls!

Thanks for the back stretch Little Sarah! Very energizing indeed. And thanks for the kind words.. light as a feather and all. 🙂
Jules – love the headline today. Pulitzer Prize!!!

Hi Julie
I’ve been reading through a few of the blogs from a few days ago and noticed that someone was looking for accommodation within “walking distance” of the B&B. I may be able to help out.
