This year  has been the best year for me.  Since joining B&B in September last year my social life has flourished along with a better and more even work life balance.  Just on the quiet I prefer the life side a little more than the work side.  (don’t worry my husband doesn’t read my blogs...

194 pink capped swimmers cared for Cabbage Tree Bay today by picking up bits of plastic on their swim back from Shelly, saving our marine creatures from eating it by shoving it down their cozzies! The morning started off in the usual Thursday way, warm, sunny and sparkling! Look at the pink clouds reflecting off...

The nor-easter is a favourite with windsurfers, surfers and...

In a week where Lainey ….left her undies at home (or so the story goes) when we know she really stuffed them in errr Jack’s errr ‘pocket’ and we all wonder what’s going to happen to the ‘beaut yute’ Holden fans …we turn up this morning for another cracking swim! The paparazzi were here ……anyone...

It was an early start for some, with plenty of nervous excitement all round.  The first 10km swim is on this morning. Nick had a prep kit the night before and I assume by looking at it some was for the morning. Is that right Nick. 😉 Wonder how they are all going out there...

Yes that’s right folks – there have been 12 previous Friday the 13ths ..so this is number 13! The fear of Friday the 13th has been called friggatriskaidekaphobia (Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom “Friday” is named in English and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen), or paraskevidekatriaphobia The sunrise...
