43 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Magnificent sunrise this morning, with flat beautifully clear water which was rather chilly to say the least from Manly Beach out to the point thanks to the westerly wind, but then it warmed up for the rest of the swim 🙂
The swim was packed with marine life this morning, there were quite a few large blue groupers and one small one, a couple of kingfish, a flathead and huge schools of yellowtail, whiting, luderick and blackfish.
A lovely photo of Michael Christie taking the water temperature in the sunrise this morning.
Following on from yesterday’s fun who’s bottom is it photo, it is the child on the left who we are guessing…
Now, who is the photo of today ?? The last photo in this blog that is, yes it is a B&B swimmer and something about him is really rather different these days…
I will reveal the identification of both people if someone guesses them correctly, so keep guessing guys 🙂
Robert Grozier has kindly added his video of yesterday’s singsong at the point. I have added this to tue website along with Michel Le Vieux’s video and photos from Gaetan Guilhon, Jalna Horn and James
Goins all beautifully capturing yesterday’s B&B solstice celebrations, you can see them all by clicking here.
There are now an amazing 243 swimmers currently on track for their B&B 2011 winter badge, check out who those hardy souls are by clicking on the image to the left of this blog 🙂
If you include this week there are still 10 weeks of winter left, so there is still plenty of time to get your winter badge even if you haven’t completed your first
winter swim yet, go on, you know you want to 🙂
Happy birthday to Richard Agius today 🙂

I think its Pilot Pete too!!
Is yesterday’s Michael Christie? Is that why you like him so much (On second thoughts did they have photography when he was that young?)

if someone was to just Photoshop a pink cap on that it would be beyond any potential doubt.

Look at MSW!! Clear sunny mornings until mid next week. NO swell at all. And best of all the water temp should be about 20c!! It was low at the beach this morning because of the Westerlies. Offshore is 20c and it extends down to Nowra.
Should be perfect.

Can’t you people tell who that is in the photo?? The rugged good looks, fine physique, and shock of thick hair. It should be obvious!!

Well everyone got my pic very quickly.
Well done.
Amazing what 22 years can do to a fine head of hair!
Where did it all go?
Sheri is asking if I can grow it back, but I’m sure it’s a lost cause.

This photo came about when I saw Pete’s pilot certificate last night and it had his hair colour listed as blonde. I yelled out “blonde ?” as I read it, as I got a bit of a shock 😉 Hence the photo as proof, I thought it was so cool I had to share it with you all 🙂
As for the bottom, well I guess you’ll have to keep guessing…

Jules, I think the little person (girl) on the right is U….. it was taken in the 70’s when nudity was the in thing with young children….. (all my first photos as a child I am nude).. Am I right?
kelly
June 22, 2011 at 7:37 pm
other guess… is it Brendan Maher?????????
Gaetan
June 22, 2011 at 7:39 pm
and I thought it was a boy on the right?
Pacific Jules
June 22, 2011 at 7:50 pm
Like your thinking, but sadly not right. All three people in the picture are male…
Pacific Jules
