Our B&B tribe is a social division in a traditional Manly society consisting of families and groups linked with a common culture and dialect, and having recognized leaders with several layers of middle management. Tribes often contain sub tribes defined by function and role.
One of our sub tribes is the Women of the Wall or WOW. After careful evidence based research it can be reported that members of this group appear on the wall 5.75 metres from the Surf Club. As is documented below in figures 1 through 5, they can appear singularly or in groups. After careful analysis they were named Women of the Wall because they are exclusively female and only appear on the wall.
As advanced creatures they have a high level of verbal communication and have reached a stage of evolution where they talk constantly even while swimming. This is due to a Darwinian evolution of their swimming technique called Sqwowking where they will talk while swimming on their backs. Like many highly evolved tribes their queen, Lisa Boyle, is kept in a special place and was not evident in this morning's viewing.
The B&B WOWs come from a lineage of WOWs having been carbon linked to the Beijing WOWs of the Great Wall seen below in Figure 6 and the original Babylonian WOWs depicted below in Figure 7 on the Babylonian Wall.
First there are no WOWs
Then as the sun rises they start appearing...
This tradition is also evident in Beijing….
And originally dates back to the Babylonian WOWs...
Have a WOW of a day

Winter Badges
The Winter swimming season is finally here!
Although the water temperature may be a little colder than you might like, there are several advantages of swimming in winter, including flat seas, good visibility and no bluebottles.
Perhaps the biggest advantage is that you can also qualify for a winter badge by swimming a minimum of 20 times between 1st June and 31st August.
You must also swim in at least 7 different weeks. If you manage to do all of your qualifying swims without a wetsuit (or other thermal enhancing equipment), you will also qualify for the coveted WWW badge (Winter without wetsuit).
So start now, and don’t forget to log your swims to qualify.
