An old skool Saturday for the hard core B&B – we woke up to a chilly, dark and wet morning. It enticed 104 core Bold Beautiful out to model their hard earnt skills and badges – not a newbie to be seen! The surf and rips had built and JK advised the half way option...

Contrary to photographic evidence above, I will open today’s blog with an official announcement stating there was no tsunami hitting Manly this morning. These are the tough conditions we were faced with, but did they face us? Hell no. Torrential rain over the last 48 hours has effectively polished our roads of dog poo and...

53 swimmers rose to a challenge today, coming out on this cloudy, raining, cold, stinker of a morning!! Thursdays have been beautiful ever since I started blogging 6 months ago… but today it was miserable! Saying that, are we glad we did it? Of course. You NEVER regret a swim, particularly a Bold and Beautiful swim! ...

HAHA …NOT …this is about the 8th week in a row, surely?? that we’ve had this great weather, warm seas and it was possibly the clearest yet??

Happy Friday everyone! Where did that week go? I hope we don;t get too used to all the perfect weather, flat seas and awesome visibility. Let’s face it.. when everyone’s happy it shows… and here’s a few of this morning’s faces just to prove it…. Happy….   So happy….   Someone’s happy to be back…....

110 swimmers enjoyed another magnificent swim this morning across Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve… Last week, Mary’s swim blog got mentioned in the newspaper for using the word ‘perfect’ so many times,  describing our swim.
