In 2012 B&B still had an analog sign/in, bolderdash was only approved in the winter and any swim other than a single Shelly could NOT be logged!!
John has kept to those rules and after 10 years he is still #2 on the Pacific Challenge with 6420kms swum.

12th July 2022
At our next monthly dinner, to be held on Tuesday July 12th at Bluewater Café at 6.30 pm, the guest speaker will be Prof. Adriana Verges, the lead researcher on Operation Crayweed. Adriana will revisit Cabbage Tree Bay with an update on this project as well as the Living Seawall at Fairy Bower Pool. The seaweeds and sea grasses are the underwater forests that fuel entire ecosystems to provide food and shelter for thousands of organisms. We swim with them every day and now you can get an in-depth look at what is blooming below the surface, and the return of various marine species. Also, discover what we can do to aid the rewilding of these underwater seascapes.
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.

Superb walk down memory swim lane. Is it not bad enough that there is pollution? No big waves thanks
