B&B “Mad Hatters” Christmas Party – HURRY TICKETS SELLING FAST!!
 The B & B “Mad Hatters” Christmas Party will be held on Tuesday 3rd December at 6.30 pm in the Moonshine Bar (2nd Floor) at the Steyne Hotel. All swimmers and partners/friends are welcome (no under 18s unfortunately). Wear your craziest hat or other headwear. No need to be shy as we will have the whole bar to ourselves. Finger food will be provided and drinks will be at bar prices. Lots of fun and dancing are guaranteed, with a band featuring one of our very own swimmers. Come along to find out who it is. The cost is $10 per head, with all proceeds going to the running costs of the B&B. Don’t miss out. Bookings are essential.
 
Book HERE now so you don’t miss out!
 
Here’s 2 of the people you might see on Tuesday… don’t let that put you off though, it’s a big room and it shouldn’t be too hard to avoid them… especially the one on the left…

 

It was a little overcast and rainy this morning ..

but that didn’t put John off

 

It was Molly’s first swim this morning .. welcome! She said she had a great time!

 

Here’s one of those pics that just makes no sense at all – like an optical illusion.. i haven’t worked out how they did it…

 

On the way out to the point an Eagle ray swam right underneath us! Like a  couple of feet below! Sparkles and I weer trying to stay with it but we lost it in all the sand

 

You can see how close it was in this one…

    Not at all bad for yet another hung-over blogger! Lovely pic of Molly and Dad!
    On the way to the swim, Nick was saying he was only up and about because he had to blog. After the glorious swim, he was so very glad that the blogging got him into the ocean – his head was at least partly cleared!
    So that should encourage applicants for the senior Monday Blog position:-)

    Onya AlexP for bringing Molly down.
    Glad she enjoyed it and hope she comes down more often.
    Nick that optical illusion is actually not. Its a slow race. Swedish Anna won!
    PS You look very dapper in your sign off photo, you just need boat shoes!

    I bet Shaun couldn’t believe he finally beat Dave at something – or is that the optical illusion???

    Haha Legsbubbles. No, I lost again. As Storchy said, and to clarify, we were running backwards.

    Glad you clarified that DWSS. You truly spell integrity with a capital ‘I’.
    And to top it all off, you didnt even tick for the Shelly swim, despite walking chest-deep into the water this morning. Your modesty is unrivalled!
