27 Bold & Beautiful swimmers turned up at least...
John Bond picked the title of this morning's blog as soon as he arrived. What a wild and wolly morning. It's rough, rugged and interspersed with flotillas of overgrown blue bottles. All in all not a very pleasant morning for a swim !
Whilst a few people had a tea bag, some turned straight back home to bed and 7 stallwarts, namely Brendan Maher, Carlton Quartley, Chris Moxey, David Adams, Derek Minihane, Robert Laier and Simon Cowell all ventured over to the harbour for a swim; out to the point and back, where Brendan said they practically surfed all the way there, but it was a real fight every stroke of the way back.
Meanwhile, the rest of us graced Manly Wine with our presence nice and early, enjoying stimulating conversation... and lovely hot coffee, making for a great morning well worth getting out of bed for :-)
Thanks to Christine Armour for getting up close and personal with the blue bottles to get this great photo for us.
Good news !! The wind is due to move around later today, so tomorrow should be just fine.
