John recorded the temp at 17.9 this morning, with Ali and Tim reporting that the water was cold and murky after their early plunge.
Seems the slightly darker mornings have encouraged some to stay in bed – a reduced drinks express this morning.
Fairly flat conditions made for a pleasant journey across the bay
Sharon here (an incredible ultra marathoner besides) showing her dedication to the swim by getting one in before making her way up to Brisbane today where she works to start her working week.
Lainey was a bit camera shy this am
Good to have these two smiles back at the beach 🙂

IN LATEST EXCITING NEWS….. THERE’S A BOLD & BEAUTIFUL WINE !!!
There is a new set of wines, just for Manly!
They’re a white and a red named ‘The Bold’ and ‘The Beautiful’ dedicated to “us” – all the swimmers who take to the ocean for the daily Bold & Beautiful swim from Manly to Shelly Beach and back.
The wines are made by James Becker, out of his vineyards in the Hunter Valley. David Webster has said it’s been a wonderful journey planning the grape varieties, the style of wines and helping James through the process of making, bottling and labelling the wines. It’s a very small run with just 100 six packs available for purchase. Each six pack contains 3 bottles of the red (Shiraz Viognier) and 3 bottles of the white (Chardonnay).
David and James would love to see you at the wine launch on October 22nd at Manly Surf Club where you’ll have the chance to taste the wines and nibble on some cheese while David talks you through the story behind the wine. Tasting starts at 6:30pm and runs through until 8pm.
Please RSVP to David if you’re able to attend at: david@northernbeacheswine.com

Hi there,
I’ve lost my swimmers!
Has anyone seen a pair of mens swimmers (Funky Truck brand), a white AIS swim cap, a bold & beautiful swim cap and a pair of googles with some green trim.
Quite likely I left them behind after the swim, Wednesday of last week on the wall.
Many thanks in advance
David

The water photos are so good. I wonder how you did that effect? Great atmosphere
