It’s a sin not to swim , well it is in these conditions. Mother nature laid on another cold but stunningly clear swim for us all this morning. You can see the bottom of the ocean pretty much all the way to Shelly.
Today’s count: 74 swimmers + 1 newbie
The woman in pink will be back running the ship tomorrow. Lets try for a big turn out shall we. (lets aim 100 people ) Apparently there is some freakishly warm water on its way tomorrow so it should feel like your swimming in the tropics, so no excuses for not turning up (even if it’s just for coffee and a chat)
Fact of the day: The starfish has an eye at the tip of each arm.
One final pic from Gaeton: “Taken at a volcano crater lake called “Lac Pavin” in France. Swimming is forbidden because of high concentration of sulphur & CO2 but for the sake of a B&Bs volcano swim picture, I had to do it ;-)) See you c u on Sunday Gaeton. !!!! ”
(For those of you who don’t know Gaeton is, he will be the one glowing a radiant shade of green tomorrow)

B&B: Manly Top 1 Attraction.
I have been reading the blog everyday since later April. You guys are fascinating. It is pity not to be part of it. All I want to do is to pack up my stuffs and move to Manly ;-).
As result of this, I spent quite lot of time in last two weeks around Manly having property inspection and getting familiar with the area. The conclusion is Manly council & all real estate agencies should have B&B website link on the homepage. (please hold on this action until I found my home, otherwise the price will rocket high :-))
B&B should be the top 1 attraction in Manly. (I reckon)
Other attractions are good, but they stay the same for years. You guys are AWESOME. WOW. Lots of laugh and different stories everyday. A big warm happen family.
Have a great weekend all.

Come join us soon Sophie, the water is beautifully clear and clean at the moment.
Just let someone know it’s your first swim with us, and you’ll be given a pink cap. There are no costs involved, but bring some coffee money for afterwards 🙂
