Today’s conditions in the water and out of the water were challenging, but the water is still warm – in the 20s. The swell was up and the water was murky. At 6:15 it was still dark:
We walked to Shelly to swim to the point from there. On the walk back from our swim we saw Ian temping the splash at the Bower and then he and Pauline as they continued their Bold and Beautiful bi – a walk and a swim.
and a few bold swimmers who took on the swell
Although we few fish today, over the weekend there was much Cuttlefish viewing, I also saw two Wobbegongs mating! A first for me (see photo below)
Bold and beautiful regular ‘Spotter’ Sarah and the cuttlefish

Welcome to this newly registered Bold and Beautiful swimmer – my 11 year old daughter who plans to earn a winter badge.
Have a great day!

B&B monthly dinner – 11th May 2021
The next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 11th May at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Our speaker for the night is a regular B&B swimmer whose identity will remain a mystery until the night. From his position as a high flying international corporate executive, we will follow his journey to homelessness as a result of a declining mental health. We are all touched by mental health issues, whether in ourselves, family and friends or just those we see on the streets of Manly. This really is a tale of courage and perseverance. You probably see our speaker most mornings at the beach and would never guess how important this morning ritual of exercise, friendship and community involvement has contributed to his recovery and ongoing happiness.
The cost of the dinner is great value at only $30 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). Bookings are essential, so to avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book at www.boldandbeautifulmanly.com.au/bb-bluewater-monthly-dinner.html
