PHOTOS OF SYDNEY ANNE ADAMS NOW UPDATED BELOW… She is beautiful !!
56 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Well there was certainly a lot of B&B activity out there this morning…
12 people did the early lap at 6.20am, 3 of whom also did an even earlier lap at 6am; David Adams, James Goins and Malcolm Armour who were up early celebrating Papa Dave being our newest Dad !! 🙂
Photos of Baby Sydney are promised later today, but in the mean time you can enjoy a photo of the happy father at Shelly Beach on his middle lap, as this morning Dave also became a ‘Father of Three’… trips to Shelly and back 🙂
56 people did the regular 7am swim and 4 of those continued on for the bonus double lap afterwards.
So… if anybody had of been super keen they could have ranked up a quadruple, but as it was I think, all up, 4 people did a triple.
So who’s up for what tomorrow ?? Any quadruplers out there ???
A lovely early shot from James Goins and a fantastic photo of a blue bottle which Nicolee Goins took at North Curly this morning. As much as we don’t like bluies in the flesh it is a great photo.
As Michael predicted the conditions were perfect again today, giving us another superb swim with blue skies and flat, calm, clear water.
No dolphins, whales, orcas or turtles but there were loads of fish, lots of Stingarees, a beautiful Port Jackson and Catfish at the point.
Princess Pete saw a baby Catfish or Wobbegong, we’re not quite sure which… and then there were 3 beautiful relaxed Starfish chilling out just off the beach as you can see from the photo below.
Tim’s fact of the day: “The heart of a blue whale is the size of a small car.”
Water Temperature 19 degrees.
Air Temperature 14 degrees.
Sunrise 6.17am.
Sunset 7.06pm.
High Tide: 9.36am.
Low Tide: 3.56pm.

Ooops! Silly me, didn’t realise you’d actually had quadruplets, Dave. If this ain’t an inspiration for a quadrupler, then what is?? I’m up for the challenge. In at 6 for four laps. Sorry, Roberto, I’m gojng right tomorrow. However, I’d be up for a Freshie on Saturday and I think Dave is keen as well. Ears up, anyone?

How nice was the water once again!
There were quite a few whales far away today jumping out and making big splashes. Best spot to check them out is Shelly’s car park.
Apparently there were lots of Blueys around Queenscliff this morning so James you guys did well to go to Shelly at 6.
And I hear the winds aren’t gonna be favorable in the next 3 days… make sure you all stick close to Iain 🙂

I had a HUGE bluey wrap around my left arm this morning. It hardly stung however, which has been my experience with large blueys. All the blueys blowing in at the moment are VERY LARGE and so are probably not a problem!!

If anyone’s up for it I might go for a Queenscliff Swim tomorrow. As long as I can drag my butt up and out of bed 🙂

Kerrist! I’m glad I didn’t know about the blueys!! Michael I think you are immune! mmmm the larger the bluey the less it stings? I like the sound of that!

Hi David. If this offer had been put out earlier I’d have been up for it, but have committed to a triple Shelly! And I’m a man of my word….
Queenscliff on Monday would be sweet. Bring on early sunrises!!!
Congrats BTW

Congrats Dave, she is beautiful! I hope mum is recovering well and getting plenty of rest…you are going need it 🙂
Pete said make sure you rest up, as all this having baby stuff takes it toll on a bloke.
