First things first… the biggest news in the Bold and Beautiful world is the birth of Tasman Mellis. The little champ was born up at Manly hospital yesterday morning. Congratulations Scrappy Scotty and Noni!

No denying it… it was a cold morning! The water was a nice 18.1 degrees… about 10 degrees warmer than the air! But once in… beautiful, clear enjoyable conditions…

About 70 rugged up people took on the swim this morning. Not too many left in just the budgie smugglers…

This is Carina and Larissa. They both study up at ICMS, have done a few swims and come to the church I Pastor. We say goodbye to Carina this week as she heads back to Germany – we will miss you! These students have the most amazing time in Manly. Sometimes we forget how blessed we are to live in this little slice of paradise.

Elliot and Cammie playing nicely together. But one day they will be racing around the rocks elbows out like their Daddies!

Finally a plug for a good book… well not THE Good Book… but Peter Wood’s ‘The Truth about Men and Love’. We all know and love Woody… so this is your opportunity to have a little slice of his irreverence in your life! Well done mate…
Peter writes; Copies of the book are now available to anywhere in the world via www.peterwood.co. Kindle etc available next week via Amazon and others. For those wishing to purchase the book and collect in Manly please either email me directly at woody@peterwood.co or via website.

I think it’s rude to swim and not comment.
