Good morning folks!
The Spaniard is blogging today! And I could talk about the presence of bluebottles this morning, I could talk also about the adventure swimming to the Corso, instead to Shelly, I could talk about how brave was the Drinksy Express at 6.30 doing the whole swim, I could talk about… But no!

BOULDERDASH – Starts on 27th October
The Boulderdash will start officially on Monday 27th October and will run every day until the end of Summer. The start time is just before 6 am at Manly Surf Club, and the route goes from Manly to Queenscliff and back (3 km total). You should be back at the Club just in time for the 7 am Shelly swim. If you are intending to do the Boulderdash, can you please swim with the group at the correct starting time (random swims during the day do not count). The main aim of the Bold and Beautiful is to provide a fun group activity, so we request that the “regulars” please welcome any new swimmers who wish to try the Boulderdash for the first time. They will feel much more at ease if they are swimming as part of a group.
Wet Patch
The recent gorgeous weather reminds us that summer (and Christmas) are just around the corner and the inevitable question, have you started your christmas shopping yet?! Wetpatch® makes Christmas shopping easy for Bold and the Beautiful members, offering $10 off the RRP. Wetpatch® car seat protectors are the perfect gift for that loved one who enjoys swimming and other outdoor activities (or you could just buy one for yourself!!!!)

Good one Marc, you’ll be flooded with offers.
Where do I sign up for the Oulderdash?

I think B+B needs a permanent mascot. Marc, you can do this. We will pay you $100,00 a year. You must come down every morning in an amusing aquatic costume and cheer us on. Meet us at Shelly with refreshments and supply toast, coffee and cake every day after the swim. I know you can do it!

I am missing my Manly swimming mates. Lively, amusing blog Marc. Thanks. Helps me to feel connected when I am out of town.

Great idea…and we could give him a big bonus if he clears all bluebottles out of our path before we set off each morning….oh and he could give some of us a ride over the waves….. yes, he can do it!

No fair correcting it afterwards!
I though it was a special event for our more senior swimmers

Bon dia Marc i bona hora, molta sort amb al teu curro. Aqui et deixo amb una mica de Serrat per donarte anims:
Quan per la sorra només
hi ha petjades de rates i de mariners,
és llavors quan un mar blau és el meu mar blau.
Quan tres roques fan un port,
i cada gra d’arena sembla un trosset d’or,
és llavors quan una platja és la meva platja.
Bon dia,bon dia a tothom. Bon dia, bon dia.
In English would be something like:
When on the sand
There are only traces of rats and sailors
that’s is when a blue sea is my blue sea.
When three rocks make a port,
and every grain of sand looks like a piece of gold,
is when a beach is my beach.
Good day, good day everyone. G’day. G’day
This is just a song from a Catalan Singer to make Marc homesick, so rather than getting him a job, we might get him on a plane 🙂

I’ve tried Lesbubbles. Most of my Sunday blogs are shameless promotion of you, your talents, and your looks..
You almost got together with Sterling. And you nearly joined the A-Team. But there’s only so much a blog can do.
