Over 159 Bold and Beautiful Swimmers

Iain and Mark swam earlier to Freshie

Here’s proof from Gaetan – although to be honest that could be anyone in there! 😉

Though wondering who took the photo? Did you have a really big lens Gaetan? Or were you there also?


The Pap’s were out to photograph us this morning…or was it the local photography school trying to take photos of the sunrise and we obscured their view!!  Either way we are a great sight to see first thing in the morning, especially so many of us. What a beautiful morning!!!

 

 

A 180 degree view over 3 photos of us all gathered “The Point”.  Whereas it should be about a 45 degree view captured in 1 photo… I’ll say no more! 🙂

 

 

 

Another sight that greeted me and other ‘slowies’ – this time more people and further back!

 

Another great line up at Shelly.  Manly’s very own Candy Bingham!  Off they go!

 

 

 

Terrific shot of some fish! But seeing as there were so few around to photograph, Richard Aguis  pretended to be one for me! 3rd photo I think he was doing the macarana?? Last photo he got the shark movement down pat! Speaking of Richard – someone took off with his B&B grey hoody this morning – which wouldn’t be so bad IF HE DIDN’T HAVE HIS CAR KEYS IN THE POCKET!!  So could everyone please check and see if they have his? He will be sitting on the roof of his car at the surf club until someone returns them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Izzy modelling with a sign that was bitten by a shark!! Must have been a big one. It’s a Manly council sign about water dragon’s – although I am pretty sure it wasn’t a shark, more like a late night drunk walking along the path thought it was hilarious to break it in half!  Also, there’s ALWAYS time for a bit of window shopping!

 

 

Some wave action coming back in!

 

 

New swimmer Stacey looking good in purple!!

Tiny Nick came back!! Ian’s talk obviously worked, he looks very relieved about it.

 

 

 

More skin/elbow shots, and the latest stage of Jane’s stair bruise!

 

 

Photos below: Jules and Michael saying goodbye to Robin at the airport on Thursday!  And Robin seems to have snuck into the cock-pit to get the pilot to wear a B&B pink hat..how on earth..oh wait it’s B&B swimmer Pete!! Gotta love a man in a pilot’s uniform and a pink swimming cap!
