67 Bold and Beautiful Swimmers!
Although at first it did look pretty miserable…
and the sign in sheets looked sad…
..and Graham brought the wrong wetsuit with him…
It’s still fun to be here… Below TV’s “Biggest Loser” Trainer Shannon was taking a workout session in front of the surf club!!
Cai and his ‘nappy to undies’ technique!
The 2 versions of pink budgies!
Ted was not lonely without Elaine!
Bit rough getting in – you didn’t stay cold for long….
Thumbs up!
The sun soon joined us…
And some fun waves coming back in…
Water 17.4!!!!
Air: about 13
Happy Birthday Tim Ettle and Bobby Hayter

Bold and Beautiful On Tour
Below Stephen in the US with Lexie who works for one of our iSwimtoo partners in the US, open water source and Stephen hand delivered Lexie her B&B cossie this week, in which she looks awesome!!
Denis Elder from a swim group in Balmoral and who sometimes swims with Bold and Beautiful – below at the White Cliffs of Dover with I think some of the team that swam the Channel with her…she says “we made it in 12h51m. Extremely rough and tough conditions. Left at 230am on Saturday with only a few hours notice once arriving in UK at Gatwick. Weather now closed in, so we were lucky to take that opportunity”.
Bye for now

Graham shouldn’t need a wettie in 17 degrees anyway 😉

Happy, Happy Birthday Tim. Have a great day.
I’m in Nowra doing some’chook whispering’, but they’re not listening. One little egg over 5 days. Oh dear, hope it doesn’t hatch in the car on the way home.

euuuw, Cae’s wardrobe malfunction has put me off my mid-morning Timtam.
Are there any B&Bs who are interested in being boat-support this weekend for a Manly-Bondi swim that a few of us are doing? We plan to leave 6am Saturday or Sunday depending on conditions and get to Bondi by 1030. Duties will involve handing out food, looking-out for suspicious fish and generally taking care of 6 swimmers. A return trip is offered to the right candidate. Call or message Miles on 0408 490162

Sadly Miles, I havent got a boat, but am happy to turn up at 5.45 with a large bucket of lard and grease you all up for that long cold journey LOL

I’m at LA airport bringing back some trial jelly fish cures designed to be applied in water ASAP after stinging. Hopefully not required but could be good trial?!

Great blog again Lesley, focusing mainly on mens bottoms as usual 🙂 You are funny Miles. I’m sure Fifi would offer ‘lardings’ in return for a donation to her Fred Hollows supporting James Pittar fund. (Give Miles the link Fifi.)
Looking forward to Trivia Night now (and dressing up.) Yeehaa!

I really don’t want to cure any jellyfish! I’d rather they just dropped dead! I’m sure Fifi would agree.

I’d give lardings for free, Elaine. I am generous like that.
