 124 Bold and Beautiful swimmers enjoyed another great start to their day!! A bit of a wave out there!!! Arrgh!! This wave got me big time! Took my cap and goggles – it hit me right smack in da face and then held me under! Thanks to DWSS AKA Dolphin Whisperer AKA Shaun, for seeing...

108 Bold and Beautiful swimmers enjoyed slightly less chop today with still some fairly big waves hammering us as we entered the water but nothing so scary (for me at least)!
