4 February 2017 – So many reasons to celebrate

February 4, 20177

It was a truly beautiful morning and the conditions were perfect for the B&B swim. 



Important – Swim arrangements for tomorrow
Because of the congestion around the Manly Surf Club tomorrow due to the Cole Classic, B&B will meet at the benches 100m north of the Surf Club.
The swim will leave from the steps in front of the benches, and will still go to Shelly Beach.
Don’t forget to wait at the point!
We will need to be out of the Bay by 7.45 am, when the first race starts from Shelly, so there will be no double or triple swims tomorrow. Thank you for your co-operation.

 

There were many reasons to celebrate this morning.

We celebrated Jim’s 2000km!!!

Sadly Dr Becky is going to Darwin tomorrow for six months. However, we celebrate the fact that Dr Becky is training to be an obstetrician and gynaecologist and is temporarily relocating to Darwin as part of her training program. It is incredibly difficult to get onto this training program and Dr Becky has worked very hard to make it. Dr Becky is pretty amazing, she is intelligent, a triathlete, very good swimmer, gorgeous and she has a genuinely beautiful soul, Dr Blake is a very lucky man. We wish Dr Becky all the best and we cannot wait for her return.

 Each morning we celebrate our fantastic friendships.
