Over 79 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
A beautiful swim with warm clear water, and unfortunately a few nasty blue bottles.
Check out Michelle Harris’s nasty sting from a Jimble who nicely secured itself for a free ride to Shelly Beach in Michelle’s swimmers – OUCH !
4 people bravely continued on to do the 6km swim: Vanessa Wilton, Diana Robertson, Brendan Maher and beautifully led blue bottle free by Chris Kiely. Congratulations guys, great effort, well done.
There are about 30 of us swimming across the heads at 10.30am this morning. See this afternoon’s blog for more details… 🙂

The 6km was certainly an adventure! Big thanks to Chris for keeping all ducks in a row and Vanessa for not letting me pike. x

Thanks team 4 for helping me do something I thought was too difficult. My eyes are still puffy from major goggle malfunction for last 3km but atleast I had something else to focus on besides that interesting chop. Good job team. Now back to eating my box of chocolates:)
