BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19). IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND FOLLOW PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE  Thank you for swimming at different times of the day and maintaining 1.5m distance.   After the ferocious waves and gloomy skies of the last few days, this morning’s clearing...

While ANZAC Day blessed us with the most incredible swim conditions which will be etched in our memories forever…         ….swimming is not the only exercise that can create immense satisfaction! Walking in the fresh air is another! If you haven’t already, pull on your joggers and walk briskly around your suburb,...

Those who say one person cannot bring down the world, have obviously not eaten a bat! (care of Facebook 😁) We’re still in the thick of this surreal time thanks to that bat eating person (I hope it tasted good otherwise this was all for nothing) and we are all trying to navigate this time...

Venus, from Italian artist, Botticelli’s famous painting, ‘The Birth of Venus’, has decided not to emerge from the sea today. She popped her head up, took one look around and said, ‘COVID what? Bugger that’, I’m staying in the safety and calm of the ocean today. When this April Fool’s Day joke is over, let...

As Scomo’s daily announcements continue to significantly change the way we live – we at the B&B are embracing these changes! Why?

On first look I thought Rainer had photobombed this great pic of Merrilee and Georgina, sporting a bit of extra facial hair. On closer examination, realised it was Merrilee’s dog, Napoleon, who wanted to be front and centre of the Big Reveal! What is the ‘Big Reveal’ you ask? It’s the first viewing of our...

How did you begin your day? Louise, Monica, Jane (and 277 other B&B swimmers) started with an invigorating swim, relishing the salt air, sun, warm water and stopping on the way for a chat with a guy who looked like…. well..that he was just casually walking past….. not walking across the street…but walking across the...

The challenge is on! These 6 swimmers (spot the 6th) were in the top 20 swimmers of 2019 mini challenge and were getting a bit cocky about it this morning!  SO…. the challenge is ON to knock them out of the 2020 20! Are you up for the challenge??? It might mean starting 5.00am every...
