Yesterday was International Women’s Day and I was lucky enough to meet World Surfing Champion Carissa Moore:
And Aussie surfers:
Keely Andrew and
Bronte Macaulay
You can catch the action at Manly’s Sydney Surfpro Competition every day until Saturday.
Today’s swim was mostly overcast in relatively warm 22 deg water with 100+ swimmers.
Less smell but some nice waves.
I swam in the dark with this mob:
We ran into a surprised Drinks express at the point.
That included Mike & Lucy.
Welcome back to Hawaiian Ironman Legend Geoff (left) after back surgery.
Caroline Liam and Fiona breakfasted on the step.
Rachel and Helen skipped the swim for coffee and friends.
Errol and Justus sheltered near the cafe.
The Lifeguards moved the JetSki so we could shelter in the garage…
Have a great week ahead

The Monthly Dinner – 10th March 2020 – Wine Tasting
The next B&B monthly dinner will be held on Tuesday 10th March at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Special guest, David Webster, will present the range of Bold and Beautiful wines especially for B&B members and their friends. The Bold and Beautiful wines were born out of the idea of creating a village wine for Manly. The wines comprise two wines made in the Hunter Valley by rising star James Becker of M&J Becker Wines. The red, “The Beautiful”, is a Shiraz Viognier blend made in a very light style perfect for summer drinking. The white, “The Bold”, is 100% Chardonnay made in a fruit forward style with strong Chardonnay flavours but low oak usage. Once you have tasted the wines, you can purchase bottles through the restaurant to enjoy over dinner.
Please book early for this event as it is sure to be popular. The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each (please note, NO BYO). Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential. To avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book atwww.boldandbeautifulmanly.com.au/bb-bluewater-monthly-dinner.html
