Fun, fish and friends… another perfect day greeted the eager beavers swimming this morning.  The saying goes ‘perfect one day and better the next’ for some place north of the border, well this is doubly true for our magnificent Manly and, I might say, triply true for the mostly Bold and very Beautiful swimmers we see on the beach...
