Good Morning Manly!
Management reported 350 swimmers this morning, including 10 newbies. Water temperature was a balmy 23.8 degrees. Personally, I think it felt warmer. <insert gratuitous toilet humour here>
Today was all about Ian (aka Santa), who celebrated his 97th birthday AND completed his 1000 km with the Bold & Beautiful swim squad:
If you are after Mardi Gras coverage, please refer to my 2014 report - nothing much has changed over the past three years:

Short blog today as I have family commitments and (once again) technical issues. The blog camera is filled to the brim with outrageous footage. Sadly, I used internal camera storage and I don't have the necessary cable to retrieve the photos for the blog. I blame Upper Middle Management for not supplying the necessary cable.
Luckily, lovely Edwina was there to save the day - providing the Top 5 photos of the morning..

Finally, the stats..
Total Swimmers: 350
Newbies: 10
Water Temp 23.8 degrees (low balled, i reckon..)
Have a great Sunday everyone. Catch a wave. Call a friend. Hug a puppy!
