Here are Tasha and Sarah practising their volleyball skills for the ‘Underwater Volleyball Championship’ coming up next week! No prizes for guessing they are just trying to avoid swimming in to the orange Jelly Blubbers who have taken over our bay recently! Ian gave good advice to swim close to the rocks. Most of them were a couple of 100 metres from Shelly and about 50 metres out so most swimmers immediately turned around and swam back. I didn’t hear of many people getting badly stung. They definitely aren’t as bad as Bluebottles or Jimbles. Despite the Jellies it was a smooth, warm, lovely swim today with a few creature sightings!
Oosty, Michael and Brian on the ramp
Leisa and Christine with a swimmer i don’t know (yet!)
Merpeople were thin on the ground today but Daniel, sister Tasha and Sarah make it down.
Jim is very busy sorting out his Garmin this morning. Here he is with Craig
Kara shows us her sting. They do seem to go down after an hour if you put some spray on
Rusty managed to avoid them today but to do that he did clock up 8 kms swimming in a zig zag fashion!
Two Jelly Blubbers mating 😉
This is what we came across in between the pool and Shelly further away from the rocks.
Tasha and Sarah bravely posed for a photo close to them!
A few of us saw beautiful Wobbies today. Although I am trying to notch up my tally of sea creatures I’ve seen mating I did think I might have briefly seen some action with Wobbegong today! I did see what I thought was a white shark and remembered PJs have white bellies you see when they are upside down mating so Wobbies might too. Can anyone else tell me if I might be right??!!
A terrible pic but this was a huge Kingfish following Yellowtail
The flash of blue of a gorgeous Groper
Came across these lovely ladies in the shallows
Simone brought down her friend Marshka for her first B&B swim and it was her birthday. Happy Birthday Mashka. Simone gave you the best b’day pressie ever by introducing you to this amazing daily drama!
Selma is a swimmer and champion unicyclist and would love it if you could attend the French Music Festival on 19th June or even better volunteer for 2 hours!
Cuttlefish are back! Admittedly these photos re from Saturday but a lot of people saw this beauty. Nicci saw one for the first time and was on a high all weekend!
Have a great day folks!

B&B monthly dinner
Tuesday 10th May 2022
The speaker at our next monthly dinner, to be held on Tuesday May 10th at Bluewater Café at 6.30 pm, will be one of our swimmers, Ranya Alkadamani. Ranya, whose career as a political media adviser involved traveling the world with a former foreign minister, will take us behind the scenes of the dark art of political electioneering. These advisors, professional guns for hire who sell their skills to the highest bidder, are a strong determinant on who we vote for. Sometimes more Yes Prime Minister than West Wing, this insight into the secrets of political manoeuvring will be totally enlightening and entertaining. So, forget about the Federal election, open your mind and park your politics at the door.
The cost of the dinner is great value at only $30 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each (please note, NO BYO). Bookings are essential, so to avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book HERE.
