120 Bold and Beautiful swimmers this morning!   (forewarning: I changed the format of blog and it does NOT publish well on Mobile Phones,  – the sentences don’t match the pictures! It looks better on Computers!) Even though Robyn has her WWW badge she is continuing to swim through winter without her wetsuit! What a legend!...

An interesting definition of ‘organic’ is organised, systematic, coordinated.  That sounds like us don’t you think?   It was so dark this morning that the little light on the check in list was a welcome beacon.  A massive 105 swimmers gathered for today’s swim.  The usual good natured banter distracts us from the time –...

I do love these beautiful Australian beachy mornings Finally a day that actually looks like winter! So if you got out of warm bed this morning to jump into the cold ocean, well done! Lesley getting some advice from the girls before the swim. Apparently Wed blog should be quite entertaining…..watch this space… Brenton gives...

En l’honneur du Jour de la Bastille et de rendre hommage à nos ancêtres Blog près de Français d’aujourd’hui est en français. (The blog can be read in Google English here, the Google translation is sometimes too literal which may make it funnier!)    Bastille Day met en évidence le Français à la recherche de...

Yet another magic morning. How good’s this? And if you’re sensible enough to wear a full wetsuit, the icicles don’t start building up until you’re on the way back from Shelly. Water temperature today was 17.6, so I send a special celebratory “Good on ya” to those who carry on swimming in cozzies only. Well...

115 Bold and Beautiful swimmers took the plunge this morning into an invigorating getting-slightly-chillier 17.1 degree surf…   Not sure how many early-lappers joined the Drinks Express – usually it’s around 17-20 people. (For the uninitiated, this is a quick swim that leaves BnB central at 6.30am — great for badge hopefuls not wanting to...

I have to apologise – when I went to do the blog I noticed most of my photos were of Sarah and Elaine! I think the cold got into my brain faster than normal! 🙂 Sarah had her ‘500 km swim’ today…here she is with Toohey and his mate congratulating her! Message from Sarah.. Sarah...

As we slip into week 7 of winter, 44 swimmers have already qualified for the Winter Badge and a remarkable 689 are on target! Whether it was to edge closer to that badge or perhaps a milestone on the Pacific Challenge, today, 100 hardy B&B swimmers notched up another swim.   Including one Newbie!!  Welcome to...

Neither the vicious effects of man flu, nor the evil plans of Girl Friday (Not bringing the camera) will stop the hurtling forward momentum of the train wreck that is Monday blog.
