59 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Miles was very happy to be out at the point being nibbled for a second time this morning after his bonus early lap with Sam, and all before breakfast too… 😉
It was the calm after the storm this morning with beautiful water and reasonably good visibility. Soooo many fish out and about as well 🙂
Thanks Anna for doing such a great job with the swims and on the blog over the weekend, although I’m not sure we’ll let you loose again… 😉 Sandy you can’t let the truth get in the way of a good story… 2500 people… well we are currently sitting at 2493 swimmers and I guess they could all choose to swim one day… yikes.
Thanks to Dave for overtaking Anna on the Pacific Challenge, whoops… I mean for taking the 6km swim on Saturday with an amazing number of swimmers, fantastic !!
There’s only one more Saturday left to qualify for your summer badge, yep, this coming Saturday when you can choose between the 6 or 10km swim, as both will continue on from the regular swim at 7. What a great way to finish summer, come on you know you want too 🙂
A massive well done to our very talented ‘Wall of Thought’ as every item they entered into the Kangaroo Valley Show won a prize !!! To quote Maureen, all their items were inspired by B&B and made with love 🙂 Maureen & Nicolee both won first prize with their pie carrier and jewellery and Annette & Maureen both won second prize for their B&B swimming dolls and apron. Brilliant !!
Well done to everyone who participated in the Jervis Bay Triathlons this weekend, there were about 40 B&B swimmers that we saw taking part amongst all the events and Greg, Michael and I had a fabulous time watching you all, very inspirational, although it was exhausting I have to say 😉
Whilst we were down there we enjoyed some stunning swimming off Hyams Beach where we saw so many Rays; Bull Rays, Eagle Rays, Fiddler Rays, Numbfish, Shovel Nosed Sharks and Stingarees to name just a few. Shame we didn’t have the camera it would have made a magnificent video.
Simon discovered a new variety of the animal kingdom on Manly Beach over the weekend…
Welcome back to Gaetan, looking forward to hearing of all your holiday adventures including your fame on Japanese TV 🙂

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of a close friend who has almost become one of the family…
MY THERMOMETER has bitten the dust!!
I know you’ll all be terribly upset. However its a case of “the king is dead – long live the king”.
The first in line as heir to the house of Centigrade has taken the throne, so I am sure you will all give it the same respect? and credibility? that you so generously gave to his predecessor?

Well I’ll admit to having some pretty strange dreams Lesley, but squeezed between Jules and Michael? Hmmm.

Just a note to say that Currant the cat found a lovely home.
Also, I’m bringing some Medium blue Alpha fins tomorrow for Madlin (sorry, M., may be wrong spelling!) to try on. If anyone else is interested to try them for size.see me after the swim.
