108 Bold and Beautiful Swimmers!
Below 11 of the Bolderdashers returning…Apparently dolphins swam under them on the way up to Queensie – a brief feeling of horror (thinking they were sharks) turned quickly to absolute joy!
From Simon C: “Not many pictures for Bolderdash today, but we all had fun with no real current in either direction, unfortunately it was too cloudy to see the eclipse. Roberto & Bruce at the end plus cloudy sunrise”
I was horri…most amused to find out at breakfast that “Sharon’s Spreddy” really exists! A spreadsheet dedicated to documenting each time pics of ‘sharon’s spreddy crew’ appear on the blog!! Even if it’s an ear or elbow! Below some points will be added today for Rob, Emer and Iain!
It was a bit chilly going in today – Stephen enjoying a little dance and song to himself…
Jenny Menzies trying her new wetsuit for the first time! She still looks a bit cold!!
Not hard to guess who these 2 are!! :-DD
Stephen (i think) still singing..
Iain takes his cap off at Shelly each time – I don’t know how his hair stays so dry and well styled though!!
Guess the Butt!
All important B&B social functions coming up:
- B&B CHRISTMAS PARTY Wed, 12th Dec from 6.30pm upstairs at The Steyne Hotel ! It’s Retro theme so dress up and come and boogie the night away. If anyone knows a good retro DJ (or band) that would like to come and play for us as our very own Warwick is sadly unavailable. Party food will be provided so please let us know if you can come by booking in here to help plan the catering. Drinks can be purchased from behind the bar throughout the night.
- November’s monthly happy hour drinks and nibbles at Murray’s TONIGHT, from 6.30pm, so please rsvp here so we have an idea of how many people are coming to help plan for the catering and come and join in the fun !
- November’s B&B special monthly Bluewater Dinner has to be moved from Mon 26th Nov to Wed 28th Nov as Bluewater are lucky enough to have their own Christmas Party that night. If you’ve already booked in for the Monday and you can still come on the Wednesday you don’t need to do anything. If you now can’t come please let me know. If you want to come but haven’t book in yet, please do so now, here !
Breakfast after at Bluewater is a great way to get to know everyone and hear all the stories!!
I heard some great ones this morning about how ‘we’ all help each other out especially the first timers/newbies! I love hearing these stories. I know on my very first swim (ahem ..with dolphins), I felt very looked after by the BnB gang!
Also getting tips in the water from fellow swimmers is a great help!! Thanks to JB this morning!
Official Stats:
11 Bolderdash
4 for the double
Water temp: 18.8 degrees
Air Temp: 16 !!
See you tonight at Murrays OR tomorrow at 6.50am for Shelly swim or 5.45am for Bolderdash!!

You learn something every time you swim. I always thought Sharon’s Spready was a new yoga position.

Be back tomorrow to collect more spreddy points. Need to keep up momentum now that Rob and Emer are back in the game.

The hairy legs give it away, it is definitely a male (is it Billy the dog?). Not the first one, the second one.

Hmmmm – The third butt looks like it belongs to a highly tuned athlete. hard to say seeing as there are soo many in the B and B.
Is it Mrs Whale???

No Shaun, I wasn’t there today, but my friends the dolphins were. I told them what a fun group of people you are so they finally made it down for a sticky beak. And they are very happy to have made it onto the blog, they asked if they can have spreddy points whatever that means. And it is NOT my butt, I don’t have a butt, I have a very nice tail. And I am most definitely female.
