67 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. 
Ben Hutt, Collie Kinsela, David Adams, Gaetan Guilhon and James Goins came down early for a swim to Freshie and back but the sand had turned blue and red from jellies so they went over to the harbour for what you can see from James’ photos below, was a beautiful swim to little Manly and back.
By the time we all got down for our swim at 7am the waves were rolling through and had washed all the jellies away, but the beach was closed so we took a gentle stroll around to half way beach for a rock ‘n roll swim along our coast to Shelly and back.
It was certainly entertaining with lots of water moving around for the whole swim including a fair dinkum wave at Shelly Beach !
A few people walked back and jumped into Fairy Bower rock pool to continue yesterday’s fun with a B&B relay event.
Meanwhile there was a congregation off the point as everyone watched Brendan swim back through the waves on his own.
Check out the fantastic photos from Timberlie of our Christmas Party on Friday night on the website here. There is a second gallery of photos on the same page with other photos too.
Tim’s fact of the day: “You can tell how old a walrus is by cutting a cross section of its tooth and counting the rings.”
Check out Matt Cape doing a B&B lap of Manly in his sister’s car. Anyone keen to join him for a fun road trip around Manly in pink tomorrow ??

So no one got stung this morning? Quite impressive, the beach at 5:30 was covered with blueys and purple people eaters, as well as massive jelly blubbers (some over half a kilo for sure).
Few pics of the waves and a quick video at the end, check out the wave at 00:23, it’s MASSIVE!!!!!

Southerlies expected so hopefully conditions will be better? I’ll be there at 5:25 hoping to do Freshie and catch up with Bolderdashers at QC. I think James & Cae are in.
