85 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
The ocean was a silky smooth blanket this morning making for a beautiful swim with reasonable visibility and a little ‘electricity’ to make you dance at Shelly…
Only Gaetan and Michael braved the early lap and 5 swimmers continued on after the regular swim to enjoy a bonus lap.
Now, I reckon we should all experience the Ghost Train Swim… in the water at 6.30am… as there’s only 6 swims left before daylight saving ends… so… don’t miss the opportunity for that extra boost of adrenalin to kick start your day 😉
Tomorrow will be even flatter so come on down.
We have our monthly sponsored Nibbles this Wednesday from 6.30pm at Manly Wine !! Hope to see you all there.
Thank you very much for the great blog yesterday Anna xx
Good luck to everyone who is participating in the North Steyne and Balmoral swims this morning 🙂

That was really even flat water this morning although not sunny as was promised.
It will be even flatter tomorrow if that’s possible. Also sun is predicted. [I’ll believe that if I see it.]
I’ll be down for the early swim. In the water at 6.30.

6.30am again, Michael?? Yep, it’s definitely a middle age crisis like someone else correctly diagnosed recently.

I’ll be there for the early one Michael. You make it sound so inviting. I think I heard Lesley say she was keen as well!

I’ll be there 6:30 but not sure if I do Shelly or QC.
I recommend everyone to try the swim in the dark, it’s quite cool actually, I enjoyed it very much this morning…
Michael and I were delighted to see each other at Shelly, both thinking “you made it too!”

Can I buy a ticket for the Tuesday Ghost Train swim @ 6.30am. Lovely to see the B&B swimmers @ Nth Steyne. Any place getters/prize winners?
