59 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Stunning conditions this morning, beautiful skies and flat, clearing water… Jan Beacham even saw a fish 🙂
There were a few little stingy things dispersed throughout just to keep us on our toes… I must confess they do make you feel like you’d like to walk on water on occasions 😉

How about this for another B&B feel good story.
Elaine Kindred’s son Ed was filming for one if his Uni assignments around Manly on the weekend and he lost a large camera lens at the top of the steps next to where we meet for our swim everyday. Ed reported the lost lens to the police and left a note at the top of the stairs where he lost the lens, but because it was raining the last 3 digits of Ed’s phone number fell off the note.
A couple found the lens but they couldn’t read the phone number as the last 3 digits were missing, so they went to the police station who knew nothing of the lost lens (despite Ed having filed a lost report there), so the couple went back to the site where they found the lens and found a small piece of paper with 2 digits on it, so they put that with the other numbers, went through all possible combinations with the third digit and bingo they tracked down Ed and returned the lens !! So who were the dedicated couple who went to sooo much trouble to return the lens… Of course it was someone from B&B, Bob and Lois Petterson. That is amazing and Elaine Kindred for one is extremely grateful – thank you !

A very nice story, Bob & Lois and thx for reporting, Jules.
I was the last to leave the outdoor changing area this morning and there was a blue fleece top on the ground on the very right hand side facing the club. I hadn’t noticed any female B&Bs changing on that side near me, so left it there. Should still be there, however, if anyone’s lost it. My lost towel remained in place there for 3 days last week until I reclaimed it!

Maybe Michael Christie should put his number on his budgie smugglers in case he actually does lose them in the next big swell…………it must have been a close shave last time.

I think it was waxing not shaving.

That’s not the half of it Stephen! They came off over my HEAD, so I was really lucky to get them back.
