What a morning!!!
Manly really knows how to turn it on this time of year: 472 good looking swimmers, near 21 degrees water temp, light offshore wind, superb underwater visibility and beautiful sunshine. Throw in a couple of birthdays, a giant cuttlefish, and a dozen or so dusky whaler sharks - and what you have is indeed a Super Sunday.
The blog tarts were out in force. Doing whatever it takes..

Bumped into Victoria on the way back. She looked like she needed help..
Turns out she had lost her swim buddies and was worried about them getting the coffee order wrong..
I really hope it all worked out for her in the end. Coffee wise.
Back at the club, swimming legends Guy, Bill, and Errol were happy to pose for a blog photo. Expertly bombed by LSA:
