BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19). IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND FOLLOW PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE.
Thank you for swimming at different times of the day and
please, please continue to maintain 1.5m distance – even in blog photos!
You don’t need to travel to Pandora to find unobtainum and blue people. Today’s temperature of 15.5 or 15.8 was pretty fresh and lots of people exiting the swim could have acted in the film Avatar without makeup. But without exception, they were all smiling because a swim is like finding unobtainium – a great start to the day.
welcome back Shaun [and Laveena]. Here with Greg
Farewell Dr John. Again. Who can forget his swim from Manly to Bondi for Bear Cottage. I still cannot believe that there is not TV coverage of this and the other huge swims that ocean swimmers (who also swim in BB) do. Impressive

Thanks Elizabeth, another lovely blog! I may have been a bit hypothermic on exit, but it was worth swimming around in circles following a Port Jackson and it was several degrees warmer when I swam down to get a closer look at it. Pity I couldn’t do the whole swim 2m below the surface!
