Blue Bottles in the Bay
Some swimmers swam south to Shelly and lots swam north. What a sight to see a group of early swimmers powering back south from North Steyne or Queenscliff behind the surfers. There were a gazillion surfers today. Beautiful beach.
Jenn is on holidays.
Peter is swimming near BB but not with
Andy and Alex – a surfer and swimmer brother set
From the UK
John Kelly made an announcement about the blue bottles so we can choose
exercise on the beach

B & B Monthly Dinner– Are you swimming with Elasmobranchs?
The next B&B monthly dinner will be on Tuesday 11th April at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Our guest speaker on the night will be Sian Liddy, a Marine Science student at the University of New South Wales, who will pose the question: are you swimming with Elasmobranchs?
Sian is looking for citizen scientists to engage with a research program she is running as part of an Internship with the Manly Environment Centre. The research aims to use non-invasive methods to assess elasmobranch biodiversity in the Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve. So come along to find out how you can be a part of this exciting new project.
The cost of the dinner is only $25 a head and includes shared entrees, a selection of mains to choose (incl a vegetarian option), corkage (for byo wine only). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each. Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential: To avoid disappointment and secure your spot please BOOK HERE NOW.

Thx Elizabeth for your fun blog on a fun day! I always love swimming North!
Do hope those who got stung (about half on the attendance list!) have recovered with no lingering war wounds!
