Mornin’ all. Inner Westies here. It doesn’t get much better than this morning. Stunning weather, water warm, and 100s of people. But there was some confusion as the clock had stopped….
and the beach was closed….
Here we are getting ready – morning ladies!
Hey Ben ! Where’s Caz???
Welcome newbies
Love this wetsuit (and very smiley person!)
And OMG. My lovely friend Lara just happened to have her first swim today. So lovely to see you LC xx
Let’s get swimming!
Some ventured in past the “BEACH CLOSED” sign ….
The other half of us walked to Shelly…
Not too bad gettin’ in
Made it to Shelly and found a few others
and more
And a birthday girl (hi Gabi!)
And a VERY special photo of 7 year old Indy who swam with Mum.
And here’s another wonderful young fish – 11 year old Maddie
Let’s get back to Manly. Hang on – these girls aren’t wet yet!
These two blokes certainly are.
Best cosy of the day!
Newbies made it to Shelly – ab fab to see the gorgeous Lara here with her equally gorgeous friends
Let’s go!
Here’s the view on the way back
Bit concerned about the rips around the point – I could see lots of swimming going on but not much distance being gained. Great that everyone got back safely.
And back to join the shower queue.
So another wonderful swim for all of us. And Wilf, there is competition coming your way… 90 year old Margaret swam today which is just wonderful. I promise to get a photo of Margaret next time! I hear there is an olympic connection so we expect further appearances from M at the BnB.
See you all soon.
Emma Fi Fi2 and Mickey xoxo

Lovely blog, Inner Westies! Nice to see some people come so far to swim. Some even come from the Blue Mountains I hear. So much gorgeousness today.
