A sense of excitement describes the mood with animated chatter about family and food That time of year has arrived again… Love it or hate it – that fella’ ‘Jesus’ is to blame! The masses descend upon the beach From far and farther… as well as those in reach In Christmas colours and costumes...

  The end of the year is here, Christmas is around the corner, stress levels are high, our ‘to do’ lists are longer than the leg of Michael Sheehan’s pyjama pants, there’s smoke on the water, ash on the beach but that didn’t deter B&Bers who found time to dress up & gather in force...

This lovely crew were all smiles today after a smooth ride to Shelly & back with no ash nor leaves clinging to their bodies making the swim just that bit more challenging! Instead – we were blessed with aquarium conditions –  but no fish photos as blog camera is still on the blink. JK is...

Today was a Beautiful day in the land of the B&B and even Better Because it was Brian’s Birthday. Bravo Birthday Boy! All the Best for a bonza day!   The Board says it all! Sunset Bar for B&B (and others!)! Can’t do much Better than that! A brewskie or two over looking the brillant bay at...

“Is it raining? I hadn’t noticed!” Andie McDowell, Four Weddings and a Funeral. Correction! Jo Gregory, Bold and the Beautiful. Jo elegantly and unphasedly (is that a word? If not, it is now!)  entered the water at Shelly in gale force winds and rain, making it look as enjoyable and as easy as having a...

If you believe these guys, then today, as they reached Shelly for the second time (most were doing doubles, Roger had already swum 4km!), an inquisitive Port Jackson, about a metre long, swam in amongst their legs! It deliberately bumped into Greg, swam around and shoved Shelly as it came back for her a second...

Happy birthday to blogger  extraordinaire, Lainey, who celebrates her XXX (<- insert number here) birthday today! She received a good birthday singing and splashing from the crowd before yelling ‘Lets Go!’ and racing back for tea!       We were a bit worried about the supposed cold change that was due to come through...

  They say when something is too good to be true then it usually is. (Just ask Champs and his recent online dating experience!) The only exception to this rule is the little piece of paradise that B&Bers flock to 365 days a year to get their daily dose of medicine! It is too good...

It’s not every day you see a frenzy of grey nurse rockin’ it at The Steyne but on this very special night of the B &B Xmas in July, on the first week anniversary to the day of ‘the unmentionable event’ they were spotted moving in sync and offering an olive branch to us swimmers!...

Some B&Bers are naturally connected. They don’t need an ‘everyone wear green today’ email! This is living proof.   Even the keep cups were green! Luckily the raisin toast wasn’t!   But the morning didn’t start out all green!     There were  lovely hues of yellows, pinks and orange too!     This is...
