*Added photo from Stephen Coulter at the bottom of the page at 12.50pm*
139 B&B swimmers were treated to an amazing sunrise this morning around 6.40am
The early lappers soaked it all up at the point
Fellow Monday blogger Joe helped me out with some pictures today as I was initially using my iPhone before the camera arrived, thanks Joe!
We were also treated to a pod of dolphins! I was too slow to get a decent photo on my iPhone
But birthday girl Freya and her family caught a glimpse at Shelly on their iphone. Thanks Thor! Happy 9th Birthday Freya, I hope you enjoyed your first swim!
Shelly beach was unnervingly quiet though
Very very quiet
So quiet in fact that Emer caught up on some sleep!
Then we realised everyone had swam out to where the dolphins were
Joe took some more pics from the other side
And of course the dolphin whisperer was there!
No other dolphin sightings, but Joe managed to get some other underwater life though
(If anyone did get some decent dolphin photos, please send them through to me at robert.byrne00@gmail.com and I will update the blog! Those are “Zero’s” after my name FYI)
Stephen didnt get the dolphin either but sent me this amazing pic of Krystyna with a turtle!!! WOW
**MOST IMPORTANTLY, Please RSVP for the monthly dinner at Bluewater using the link below. We need to know numbers so the venue can plan accordingly!**

That’s the way, Robster – blog out before I get back from breakfast!! Love the pics, especially the one of Emer sleeping as she waits for the crowd.
A shame no one followed my suggestion to join our 6.15 Boldercrawl with CAMERA this morning – we were treated to spectacular views of sunrise, moon AND close-up DOLPHINS, well-spotted by Lips:-)
Of course, those Bolderdashers who forget to take regular sunrise, coffee and dolphin breaks missed the show and shivered as they waited for us at Queensie:-) They’ll learn!!

I think Little Sarah, Jon and Lips were the dolphin whisperers this morning! That’ll teach you Speedy Shaun for getting fast!
It is our amazing Little Sarah who is celebrating a big birthday this Wednesday. This lady inspires, helps, counsels, comforts and cajoles. She helps in so many ways to make this wonderful group such an amazing part of so many lives. All welcome to share some birthday cake at Bluewater in Wednesday!

Big grey, split fin and and Slobber Spout told me that Rainer was in so close, he walked to Queensy.
They also told me they saw no one else while in the bay so I am a bit concerned as to the Triad Queens integrity when dolphin spotting. They did say they saw someone walk from the pipe to Queensy and get back in the water for the last 100m. I’m guessing that would definitely be Sarah. Haha
Caught out again!!
I don’t know about a booking for the pod for later in the week. As Nicki can vouch for me I had them booked for tomorrow with their management but they are so unreliable.
Ill see what I can do.

Sour grapes, Shauny – we’re the new dolphin whisperers:-)
Now, if you hadn’t gone over to the Dark Side Unmentionables at 6 a.m. you’d have accepted our invitation and would have been sure to be slow enough to see the show:-))

Oh Shaun, eat your heart out! The Dolphins are talking to me, Little Sarah, and Jon now.
Slobber Spout, the spokesperson of their pod, told me they’ve been fed up with you going around bragging about speaking Dolphin for a while now.
Your accent is terrible and slurred. Their words, not mine.
Time to change your name back to Slowest Shaun! 🙂

..also and very importantly it was Vicki Harbutt’s birthday today and we sang Happy Birthday to her at the Point… Vicki is one of our major Sponsors – she buys the pink caps that everyone wears! 🙂
Happy Birthday Vicki and thanks so much for all the caps! 🙂

As I thought, no denial about the bolder walk.
Guilty as charged. Hehe
You can buy Km’s in the PC
You can buy ticks
You can buy henchmen and Lips Rainer
but you can not buy the integrity police.
I rest my case, and just in time before summoning Sloppy Spout to appear as a witness.

Happy Birthday Vicki.
Have a wonderful day and yes, thank you so much for the pretty pink caps, especially from those in the giant head gang (Drinky, SS and myself to name a few) whom you sponsor more than the generic pin heads as we continually split the things – sorry!
Lesley lets put in action your idea of regulars/big heads giving back.
Possibly auction off a few caps next dinner!

Who are you kidding Botox boy?
Any intelligent gentleman would know that you could not have learnt dolphin language as flipper was not on TV in Germany in your younger days.
You would also need to translate from dolphin to German to English.
Two translation results in “throw me that yellow tail, slippery ” to be ” this Frankfurt is slimy”
I doubt you even saw my sloppy spouted friend!
Ill be talking to him tomorrow!!
🙂
Btw nice photo bombing yesterday mr life saver. Haha
Another Happy Birthday for Vicky from the dolphins this morning.

We are just giving ACCESS COMMUNICATIONS PTY LTD a larger billboard.
With the larger writing on the sides of our heads, Renee saw the add from 12 km up while skydiving.

…and no denial about going over to the Dark Side either….!! Very guilty. On the otherhand, I have lots of witnesses to vouch for my boldercrawl – inc. Storchy himself!
Stephen & Krystina – amazing pic!
