69 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Tim was right, there was indeed dolphins and whales this morning and the conditions were devine !!
Tim didn’t even swim, but he took some great photos for us !!
As we walked past the point on our way to swimming this morning there were dolphins cruising past on their way to the Bower, damn we thought we had missed them…
Then as we got ready there was a whale breaching off shore, it too was heading to the Bower.
But… as we entered the water the dolphins must of heard us as they came back and joined us for a swim right at the point, no kidding, they really were RIGHT THERE SWIMMING WITH US !!! Check out the photos !! There was a beautiful flathead swimming too which James managed to get a great shot of.
Sooo many amazing photos for you all to enjoy today thanks to James Goins, Robin Turner and Tim Ettle.
8 people continued on ‘lapping up’ the conditions and enjoyed a bonus double lap.
A great time as always at Manly Wine for our apres swim too.
Welcome back to Vicki and Mahdi, what a great welcome home swim after 9 weeks away.
Tim’s fact of the day: “Giant cuttlefish have green blood.”
Thanks to Linda Goodwin and master blogger Timberlie Ettle for looking after all things Bold & Beautiful yesterday, in the less than ideal conditions, whilst we were off busy enjoying ourselves.
Thank you for all your kind words too, I don’t know how we forget to take our pink caps but we did, what can I say… 🙁 I have a feeling I don’t need to say anything, you guys will have enough to say on the matter, sorry !!

Lovely pics! Now that’s the welcome home in the water we’ve been dreaming of! Perfect conditions and for once the B&B Slowies like me were in the right place at the right time! Also, such fun out of the water catching up with everyone again….

Plenty of fish in the sea, but the ones that dress in military uniform are irresistible, aren’t they?
