Today’s blog and goodbye song is dedicated to Sabine who will be leaving us next week to return to Germany. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFhoLfP8pvI (The Beatles – She’s Leaving Home)     Sabine mostly swims at 6am so she can catch the 7.30 ferry to her architecture office in the Australia Square Tower.

Plenty of stars turned up for the B&B today, and then there’s this little lot.Let’s go celebrity star spotting. You never know who you might find. I noticed Jack Nicholson in the surf, having a hot dog! Or was it our DWSS? Then good ole Pammy turned up sporting her red outfit. Or was it...

How did you greet the New Year? I like many could have done with a sleep in… but somehow found this one on my face.   Thinking I could still sleep through, Sterling then appeared at the door… ‘swim time…’ ‘swim time…’   And then this appeared by my bedside… breakfast of champions… berocca, coffee...

It’s the last day of 2014 and a big day at the B&B swim! Loads of swimmers trying it for the first time, two of our favourite ‘Slow and Steadies’ (sorry Lips and Ted), swimming their 1000 kilometres and the final of the speedsters, ‘Triple Crown’! For me apart from the sunrise and the Manly...

The morning began quietly enough around the beach that never sleeps.  A skateboarder heading south between the Norfolk pines.   The final salutations at Free Range Yoga.   Found the crowd!!  The swell is certainly rising at  B&B central.   There is lots of chatter about ‘new year resolutions’.  Actually people are talking about their...

This is the start of my day ! Sun shining & off to Booty camp before my swim.   My new Booty Boss Elliott Baker ready for a bit of planking.     Lilli has got the plank thing going , but dad cheats while Elliotts not looking !     News from Claudia is that...

December 28th is traditionally a slow news day for the B&B blog. It’s that lull between the first two of the Summer Triple Crown swims and the all important 3rd one on NYE. It’s that day after the B&B anniversary with all its cakes and speeches. It’s Brendan’s BBQ hangover day.   Nonetheless, a total of...
