What a morning it was! Another beautiful Saturday morning to top off another great week! This is the picture at about 6am….
Yes.. May the 4th be with you! – it’s intergalactic Star Wars Day, and strangely enough, after the movies were made, most of the cast have actually joined our little group…
The Jawas from Tattooine were here……
The Ewoks… here is their leader…..
The Imperial Stormtroopers were showing off their imperial butts in their imperial onesies….
Emperor Palpatine practising being totes evil……
No prizes for guessing – Cee Threepio and R2D2…….
And who can forget our mate… Chewbacca….
The Rebels left the Rebel Base……
“Join the Rebellion” they said… so Amanda and Josephine did…
Who’s that flying the Milennium Falcon??
Luke Skywalker did the “May the 4th be with you – let’s go!”
Click the image to see his style…..
….and they went into Hyperspace…
Today we had some awesome pics – the water was pretty clear and there was some National Geographic type action going on above and below the water….
The mullet were feeding on the surface……
The yellowtail were everywhere in big numbers…..
I managed to get a pic of the cormorant who is very shy…..
Some good pics of Kingfish herding the yellowtail ………
Trevally Alley……
While the Old Husbands are away – the Old Wives will play… with the Kingfish…..
Pic of the Week goes to……….Elaine from Thursday!
Congrats Lainey – looooooo! 🙂
Lastly our favourite traveler Annie sent these in from Vientam/Laos
Here she is swimming in a yellow chicken curry…… please don’t swallow that Annie!
Phew… looks like she made it!…..
Noteable Star Wars Day absentees:
Han Solo and Princess Leia – A lot of the girls wanted to be Princess Leia – but remember ladies.. they get together in the end…. know what i’m saying?
Obiwan! – where were you? ahh that’s right! … you got owned by Vader in the first movie…..
For the diary . . .

Oh my goodness, surprised they haven’t leaked the new Club Design plans as well:-)
And talking of how famous we are, I got the No 1 prize in the Guiness Book of Records record stretch band class just because I was wearing my pink cap and had come to the class from a B&B swim!
Yeah, a group of B&Bers are now world record holders for stretchy banding:-)

G8 blog naughty Nick, your secret is safe with me!

Great blog Nick! Made me laugh. OUT LOUD!
2nd June is now officially onesie day – yes that’s right anyone with a onesie needs to wear it that day – more later!
Just a quick thank you for people’s kind messages whilst I decided a night stay in A&E in Manly was a good idea on a Friday night (Nick – they had to find some way to keep me out of the Boatshed!) I hope to be at breakfast tomo assisting Stephen blogging. Look out for the Hulk like neck …that will be me!!
