132 Bold and Beautiful swimmers showed up today…Who needs Borat, Hugh Jackman, Pink etc when you’ve got this gorgeous lot to swim with! Thursday has been my Blog Day for the last 10 weeks and I’ve always been lucky and copped a clear, warm and sunnyish day. Today was no exception. It was so worth...

Yes… not long now and it will be perfect again! See it only takes a week to sort itself out! Although, I did notice the fish are feeling very exposed from their lack of seaweed to hide behind…the rocks are looking very bare!  So look how fab it is!!! Are you ‘board’? Swim with BnB...

There was a sense of calm across the bay this morning.  Gone are the crashing waves, the mountains of seaweed, the rain and the over abundance of celebs! Today it was all about the swim as 118 B&B’s gathered for the daily dip.  While not exactly sunny, the buzz of the welcoming chatter is comforting...

We were told to be at Shelly at 7.17am this morning. Camera crew was waiting for all 95 Bold and Beautiful swimmers. This could only mean one thing, Borat has come to Australia and is filming his new film about life in Australia and in particular Manly. Here he is after doing a boulderdash with...

OK It’s a LONG blog with lots of photos. I pity those who view this on their phone. Your bandwith is dead. In April 1789, a catastrophic chicken pox epidemic spread through Sydney and surrounding areas with the result that local Aborigines died in their thousands, and bodies could often be seen bobbing in the...

You can have your sunrises, your cafe lattes, fancy Western Australia beaches and sleep ins but at the end of the day people you’re just kidding yourselves… THIS…. is what we are about! It’s about RAIN and WIND and SEAWEED… It’s about the STREETS being CUT OFF and NO PARKING because of some fun run.....

The washing machine conditions are persisting, with the spin cycle still going. 119 swimmers were rewarded with spectacular morning sunlight to compensate for the not quite so hygienic water conditions. Since we are an inclusive rather than elitist mob, we are privileged to be blessed with degrees of challenge to our daily exercise routine.   About half...

Only 77 Bold and Beautiful swimmers  swam today, on a misty, magical and marvellous Thursday morning! The surf was huge with thumping waves crashing way beyond The Point and ‘dolphin divers’ ducking under the waves would have had a faceful of seaweed! It was definitely a Halfway Day again today for most of us… Sun...

ALMOST back to normal…. As most who swam today know I was trying to do a ‘video diary’ of the swim – and now I realise you cannot throw one together in 60 minutes! 🙁 Anyhoo I will post link later….. in the meantime check out these photos!! 😀 Believe it or not these are...

Well there were a ridiculous 22 B&B who would not have missed the adrenaline rush of a little swim with Oswald (Cyclone Oswald that is) See from all the bright and shiny smiles how committed each swimmer is to seizing the most out of every day.  .   At T minus 4 minutes there were...
