72 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Gaetan swam an early Bolderdash from half way beach to the bommie and back, solo, I think !!?
The rest of us followed his lead and swam to Shelly and back from half way also. A fun swirly swim it was too, with a happy birthday song to 'us' at Shelly and plenty of cake at brekkie :-)
So we're 3 today, who would have thought hey... from that very first innocent morning three years ago today when I thought I was just taking Jenny Knapman for a swim to Shelly and back, little known to me Jenny had recruited a few of her friends; Anita Keelan, Cynthia Alley and Debbie Hanson. We had such a ball amongst all the coughing, spluttering and swearing that we went again the next day, by which time there was 9 of us. Well what's left to say, the rest is history, we've kept growing in the same way that we started, currently sitting at 2045 participants, until tomorrow that is, and collectively we've never missed a day, and all of the 'originals' are still swimming today :-)
You guys are amazing and a big congratulations to all of us !! :-)
Talking of amazing... ;-) there are only 30 B&B 2012 calendars left so if you would like one please don't leave it too late... You can get them from me after any swim or online here until we've sold out.
Thanks to Stephen for most of today's great photos.
Timberlie took the photo below of Stephen and Chris on patrol yesterday morning - pretty sure it's calling out for a caption... ???
Tim's last fact of the day: "Pacific Ocean was first sighted by Europeans, in early 16th century."
If anyone has any facts they would like to contribute please email them to me.
Happy Birthday to 'us', Emily Heal & Gary Emich, one of our vacation swimmers from San Francisco today ! :-)
