Over 51 Bold & Beautiful swimmers
The waves were bigger but the sun was out! Roberto and Miles headed off to goodness knows where this morning at 6am - Check out what they swam through! (Courtesy of Gaeten). Video https://vimeo.com/40686538
The rest of us sensible lot headed off to half-way again, but today the sun greeted us as we rounded the point! Photo of Heidi James doing her funny fish impression AGAIN!
A fun filled churning mass of water as we all jumped in, but everyone happy to be there.
We were all enjoying ourselves waiting for everyone to get in safely....
Then John Kelly (last pic below) lead us off with a great Let's Go!
And off we went, another human/wave/debris dodgem swim!
Below are some photos of our arrival as Shelly: Super-man-elite-squad swimmers Alex and Miles (clearly Miles survived the 6am swim to join us to Shelly!) , also a war wound I received - and no it wasn't a stinger of any kind but someone with really long finger nails scratched me and it wasn't a female! ;-)
The journey back to half way was just as bumpy! But lots of helping hands at half way getting us in safely. Ian Forster directing everyone... or is he telling them off for going too near the rocks?? Happy relief smiles as we all made it back!!
Below 2 of our Super Model swimmers, Heidi and Lesley in their gorgeous Sponge Bob Square towel outfits. Also pic of John Bond's elbow... no wait .. who is that tiny figure coming out of the sea instead of half-way?? Miles of course! He braved it back through the waves again - he will be asleep at his desk by lunchtime!
Happy Birthday to Brendan Maher!
Just a reminder that a SPECIAL B&B ANZAC CEREMONY SWIM will occur on Wednesday 25th April at the daily time of 7am. As always we'll set off from Manly at 7am, gather at the point together before continuing on to Shelly Beach where Greg McDonagh will play the Last Post on the Trumpet and Bruce Baird will read the Ode. This is a continuing B&B tradition which is a lovely tribute and a wonderful atmosphere so please come down and join in.
