Beautiful blog Mary. Fantastic photos. (I hear you have the same top quality one as Stephen and Nick now?) Love all the photos but particularly the one of the 2 stingrays cosying up together! Happy Birthday Geneve! That might be our last 'perfect' swim for a while but we'll always be glad we did it whatever the weather!

Well done Frosty Nuts! Great blog Stephen. I knew there was something special about our swims, but a hidden temple and carving of a Buddha beneath the waters of Cabbage Tree Bay. Wowee! Love the photo of Sparkles and Nicki and I like (my) shot of Skye and Helen too!

You wip up great blogs so quickly with amazing photos Nickster! Still can't get my photos to load quickly. Thanks to Little Sarah for encouraging me and a few others to do a Boldercrawl this morning at 6.15am. It was beautiful swimming across the horizon as the sun was rising!

You are funny Lesbutt! Love the photo of Lips with his 'Special Friend'! Can we have some 'special friend' blog tarts for tomorrow's blog? It looks beautiful...again.Remember to come tomorrow folks because Thursday swims are just 'gobsmackingly amazing'.

Such a beautiful swim with so much marine life and great visibility even though it was cloudy. Lovely blog Mary and well done Robster on your photo. I'll try and become a Manly Daily Facebook friend to see it!

And the day did turn out beautiful and sunny! Well done Joe for helping out while poor Robster is sick, and Lesbutt of course! I hope I don't have technology issues on Thursday for my Anzac Day blog. Last year 400 swimmers turned up for an Anzac Day swim so we should try and beat that this year. So bring along all your friends!
