116 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Another spectacular morning for a swim !
With only the occasional tiny little wave rolling through that Fifi is preparing to step over 😉
Total calm out at the point.
But a wave or two at Shelly 😉
Along with lots of talk on the validation of Sharon’s blog tarting spreadsheet… with Stephen pretty confident that 5 minutes on TV in pink B&B cossies
during the Noosa Triathlon show on Sunday should escalate him straight to the top !
Clearly Simon’s got a better eye for bottom photos than me – phew ! But on special request by Slowest Shaun and John S: repeat bottom shot…
this time of Lesley with a different boy ! Yesterday’s boy was Ian F and he didn’t even recognise his own bottom…
More great Shelly shots from Simon this morning:
Another fantastic start to the day 🙂
With Joe E happy to be joined by his son, Lucas this morning for his first swim with us 🙂
3 doublers this morning.
The early lappers report from Andrew D: “12 early lappers to Shelly today. Another beautiful morning in Paradise !!!!!”
The Bolderdash report and photos from Simon: “Bolderdashers headed off at 5.58am past the sunrise for a wind assisted ride to QC. The return ride took an extra 7 minutes as we were slapped around by the southerly, although we did stop briefly off Nth Steyne to say hi to another group of 7 headed for Freshie.”
If anyone is interesting in ocean paddling we have two Honcho Guevara Surf Skis for sale with paddles for $1000 each. They’ve hardly been used, so are as good as new. If you’re interested please let us know.

With Shaz (4 points which includes just my arm in one shot!!!) and Rainer getting 3 points on the spreddy today, the total scores are:
Corinne 18 (slow start, good comeback)
Jules M 21 (will enjoy some fresh tarting now back in the water)
Nige 24 (a rare occasion these days)
Shaz 67 (‘all over it’)
Iain 41 (easy to spot at Shelly – no cap alert)
Rob 22 (fast recovery on the inside)
Emer 10 (lucky last, fighting for the spot with Corinne)
Rainer 43 (recent edition points given for variety)
Plenty of time until 31 Dec for these scores to shift!!
Stephen – lets see the evidence first …..

Thanks Jules for pointing out the request from SS. Just to clarify – not myself.
Lesley,
butt, butt, am I correct in thinking that’s you on the right? I somehow pictured you differently.
;-D
I think we should have a male and female butt shot and guessing competition and rating to 10 each day with SS and Lesley adjudicators, and of course a daily butt shot of each adjudicator.
No mullets sighted today.

Since when did you get serious about the spready snorkles? it wasn’t that long ago you said to me that you were not keeping track of Rainer’s appearances and he had NO IDEA that you wern’t.
I thought it might be an interesting fact to come to light given the effort he was putting in, in the smurf suit, pyramid, laybacks, lifts etc etc. I must say I am impressed with the smurfs.
hehehe

Thank you JS. As I recall, I made a complimentary comment on Leslie’s top and a sly butt call came from my left. (MR S)
I did sight two big mullets of the point today as I was coming in.
Those fish are definitely on the roids.

Ahhh that’s better…not so old lady flat! Hahaha… Beware I am blogging tomorrow….butt categories will be: most firm over / under 50, most see through…this ones for guys. Most tiny… Most enormous…just kidding…Any other category suggestions? 😀

What???
Are you saying I might have wasted countless mornings making an utter fool of myself and engaged in reckless stunts – for nothing?

I am so glad that me and my butt are walking tomorrow not swimming – although keep an eye out for my seriously pink shorts as I walk past you all tomorrow !!!

Oh you guys keep me laughing.
What a day to fess up Snorkles, the poor guy is wearing a blue smurf suit!!!!!!!!!
All in good fun, Rainer, you are a Legend. and yes, Im with Jules, it is all very much appreciated.

Haha – I’m glad it caused a whole load of enjoyment for our mornings and on the net during our days at work! What started with the original four (Nige, Jules M, me and Corinne the spreddy has grown over time!!)
Rainer I love your expliots and glad that today we were able to carry them out together!!! I hope you appreciate my 40 points awarded as I cant go back and trawl through them all now!
Loving the comment by the way Jules!! Heehee. I’ve given the others plenty of time to overtake me whilst out of the water!!

Loving my name by the way!!! Did you see what I did with the double SS???
Rainer
13/11/2012 at 6:45 pm
Shaun / Jules – thanks guys. Good to know the hard work is being appreciated.
Snorkles – happy with the score of 46. Suggest we appoint a committee to review rules and proper tracking of the points system. Blog tarting has moved far beyond its initial concept of ‘just a bit of fun between friends’. Who knows, we might even petition for our own badge at some stage!

Rainer/Snorkles/JACK
What happened to all those points that Rainer had me work so hard for on my last stay? He told me I was part of the Blog Tarting Club and I had an average of 2 pics a day – so that was 60 (almost) and then there was the WHALE day for a bonus 50! Definitely time to review rules and tracking.
I think it’s time we had someone sensible like JACK adjudicating and moderating Blog rules and scores (and especially the entries by his Dad below!!)
And definitely signing the badge petition…. we have a lot of badges to catch up:-)
p.s. So glad to see you back in the water, Sharon:-)))
