51 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
James Goins and Roberto Suares swam an early Bolderdash up to Queenscliff and back, very happily reporting that it was much less choppy than the run into Shelley !! It certainly looks calm in the lovely the photo of Roberto at Queensie headland.
It was certainly an up and down kinda morning with the swell and the backwash meeting us as we swam across and back, gotta love the motion of the ocean, it certainly made for some happy faces this morning… Check out three of our originals enjoying the swell at Shelly, Anita Keelan, Debbie van otter Hanson and Cynthia Alley 🙂
The highlight of the morning was Jane Stevenson seeing a baby Port Jackson Shark just off Shelly Beach !!
Thanks for this morning’s beautiful photos James.
We have two championships in our mist; Lee Copper came first and Nanette Crawford came second in the 50m freestyle event at the Winter National Masters Championships last weekend. Incase that wasn’t enough Lee also set a new national record !! Congratulations ladies that’s terrific, very well done 🙂
B&B’s Manly Wine Sponsored Nibbles are on this evening, looking forward to seeing you there.
Our B&B Trivia and Steak (and vegetarian) Night is filling up fast, which is awesome !!! The Steyne Hotel are as excited as we are so they are going to try to expand our numbers further so more people can join in the fun. So, if you would like to come please let me know asap. You can check out the tables as they stand so far by clicking here.
There are some fantastic raffle and table prizes being donated from our sponsors, supporters and friends too. I will inform
you all of the terrific prizes very shortly.

Hi Nicolee
Yes it’s James !!! Now that’s impressive- it must be your husband’s rippling shoulder and arm muscles that you recognised 😉
