36 'ticked' Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
5 people endured an early stingerdash, with most of them escaping at North Steyne on the way back after their encounters with bluies, but they weren't totally deterred as they jumped back in again for a bluie free swim with the rest of us to Shelly and back.
It's certainly a bleak morning, you could be forgiven for thinking we were coming into winter with the cold wind and cooler water temperatures, a few swimmers have snuck back into their weties, can't say I blame them...
A little bit of swell off the beach, making for an entertaining start and finish to our swim with a jimble convention off the point. All in all an exciting start to the day with happy faces at Manly Wine for brekkie ;-)
Thanks to James Goins and Michael Christie for this mornings lovely photos. James particularly likes the fifth photo of "the minister being smashed by the opposition" :-)
Hopefully you will have all received yesterday's newsletter with our upcoming exciting festive activities. There's lots coming up, so please have a read. If you didn't receive it please check your junk folder and if its not there please let me know so you don't miss out.
Tomorrow is a day worth swimming for as Michael Christie's back in the water !! :-) So come on down, you never know your efforts might just be rewarded with a special treat at brekkie... ;-)
Jonny Schaffer has a friend from South Africa taking part in the Freedom Swim; Robben Island to Big Bay (in South Africa) on 28th April 2012. Jonny will be over there too, but needs a little support from his fellow B&B swimmers to be convinced that he can handle the possibly 12 degree waters for this 7.5km swim. If anyone is keen to participate in this swim, Jonny says he friend would be able to help with guidance of logistics etc... Also Nicky Piha has been support crew for this swim a number of times so I'm sure she would be happy to chat with anyone at brekkie who is considering it too... :-)
Tim's fact of the day: "A shark may grow and use over 20 000 teeth in its lifetime."
