49 Bold & Beautiful swimmers did stuff today. Here is the stuff we did…
We watched the sunrise
Candy tried to jump from the top of the ramp straight into the water (Crazy stuff)
John & Izzy did stuff together.
Some went in at the beach
Lesley did too
Her twin got in at half way
In you get LSA
Always wondered about the “Beautiful” in Bold & Beautiful?
Waves were waving
We always lend each other a helping hand
And we ate cake
Thanks to Danni!
Sparkles was a big fan
Then we ate brekkie!
Sebastian Terry (Middle) popped in to say hello at Brekkie. Seb is running an event in aid of Camp Quality next month. It’s the “100 Things” (Check out www.100things.com.au) Documentary Premiere on 8th @ The Steyne Hotel. Ticket price includes 4 x free drinks, free food, free raffle entry and global premiere of documentary which will be on the Discovery channel. Cost: $50 with 100% of money going to camp Quality! Tickets and info available at http://events.ticketbooth.com.au/event/Premiere I will be organsing a group to go to support!
Keep swimming and smiling,

Got some photos in from B&B WA! Congrats to all the guys and gals who participated in the Rottnest Island swim:
Tomorrow night is the Cinema groups night out in Manly cinema – Please see Izzy for further details, I believe they are going to watch “The Impossible”, should be a great night out!

Attracta found a pair of goggles at the ramp, please speak to her or myself if you want them back!

Great work Robster, showing us a simple blog can still catch the spirit of a great swim! Love the ‘helping hand’ pic! I loved the surf today and my sting is much better. Thank you so much to everyone for being so caring xx Excellent effort Rotto swimmers!

Congratulations to all the Rottnest swimmers, by all accounts conditions were difficult.
Michael Chistie is now officially a legend (not just in his own mind :-)) after his fifth successful Rotto crossing. Seriously, what a great effort Michael, after almost 10 hours of swimming.
Michael Teys, Cae Tolman, Rob Taylor and El Prendergast all got across in great times.
Rowan Webb, The Animal, 8th overall in 5 hours 6 minutes. Awesome.
Robin Turner was made to get out by the organisers because he didn’t make the 18km cut-off time. He had only 1.7km to go and 70 minutes to get there and was still swimming strongly.

What a wonderful swim this morning !
Was very gentlemanly of drinks, Simon and David not to sprint off and leave me…loved the sounds of Simon cackling through the waves.
dolphin whisperer did a very bold start today, heading out at 6.15 no doubt with all his dolphin friends.
Congratulations Michael and the rotto guys, well done all of you

Is anyone interested in coming with me to Seb’s charity event on 8th March? I think it would be great if the B&B group could raise at least $500 by getting 10 people to go.
Camp quality is an amazing charity and it would be awesome to help Seb reach his target of $100,000. We even get drinks and food for our donations 🙂
WHO IS IN?

Great to have you back, Robster – I love the ‘helping hands’ theme and a great pic of yourself at the end. A true Iron Man-braving-the-elements image:-)
LL, glad you’re feeling better and Danni, how do you keep that figure whilst baking delicious cakes all day???
Michael & Jules, lovely to see you’re still alive – do chip in more often:-)))
