What a week its been with warmer waters, whales, grey nurses and fevers of rays but today everyone was asking "where's Shaun?"
You see lower middle management hadn't met their KPIs and so with Ian away and John busy with seminars this week, top management needed some woman power to crank things up for our swimmers. With just one day left to deliver, I've ordered some nice warm weather for the rest of today and tomorrow, making a swim in Cabbage Tree Bay on Friday morning the best way to start your day. I'm reassured that there will be plenty of sea life to look at tomorrow morning as well. It's been a hectic week clearing the water filters, making sure the wave dampeners are working adequately, firing up the water heaters and ensuring the spectacular sea life know the importance of putting in an appearance this week for maximum crediblity. To be honest its been exhausting so after tomorrow I'm happily handing back the reigns to JK to keep everything in order.
But it seems the changes have come at a cost. I became a little concerned when yesterday Shaun recounted his conversation with the albino wobby and it kind of went downhill from there. I'm worried he may not be feeling the B&B love so if you see our favourite builder muttering to himself, brown paper bag in one hand and his collection of accumulated swimwear in the other, please tell give him a cuddle, tell him we still love him and reassure him that next time he is given the opportunity to just try a little harder.
On a more serious note Roger Ingram today passed the 1000km mark - what an achievement. He was greeted with the customary arch at the end of his double.
We also celebrated Gayle's birthday - it was actually her birthday on Sunday but she tried to keep it quiet - no such luck at B&B - a birthday of such a celebrity generally means cake.
We're still looking for Shaun and his albino wobby.
The 6.30 crew were quite happy with management deliverables this week.
As were the earlier swimmers.
Still looking for Shaun.
Maybe he's brushing up on his Spanish like these three who are preparing to cycle around Cuba.
Es realmente una excusa para ser estrellas del blog. (thanks Google translate - hope that makes sense!!!!)
Twinning - but still no Shaun.
Apparently wetsuits are not cool when its 19 degrees in the water and your mates go without.
The WOWS and friends out of the water.
And in the water - including some photo bombers.
Have a great day and see you tomorrow before welcoming JK back on Saturday.

B&B Monthly Dinner at Bluewater Cafe
Tuesday 12th November at 6.30 pm
Guest Speaker - Allan Sparkes CV, OAM, VA, FRSN
The Next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 12th Novemober at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Our guest on the night will be Allan Sparkes CV, OAM, VA FRSN, who is one of only 5 Australians in the past 44 years to be awarded the Cross of Valour (CV), Australia's highest bravery decoration. Allan will speak about "What is the rarely recognised element of courage and why is it so important today?" Is courage about overcoming fear? willingness to risk your all, an inner strength? perhaps it is about choice, leaving a place of safety to go to a place of danger? But how often do we consider courage is about the willingness to care. In his talk Al Sparkes will touch on the times he has had to be courageous to help others and the times he stopped caring about himself. And what he did to recover his life from the pits of hell.
Please book early for this event as it is sure to be popular. The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option).
