Manly Training Swim - Bold & Beautiful 10k Harbour Adventure

Watch out for the ferries

"Bold and Beautiful Swimmers" 10k informal swim Saturday 16th January

I arrived at Manly this morning expecting to slog it out for a few hours in the surf.
Instead I was treated to an Odyssey of harbour beaches, led by a man and his dog.
After 2 hours of swimming, I was running low on energy, and actually quite hungry.
So imagine my surprise when we arrived at the Quarantine Station, to find a swimmers picnic of fruit, drinks and lollies prepared by BB supporters.
Feeling re-energised after the treats, I didn't even object to Brendan's irrational suggestion to keep swimming a few hundred extra metres south to Flagstaff, instead of heading home the way we had come.
The sweet coffee surprise at Little Manly also hit the spot.

A cruisy long swim together as a group, stopping at every beach along the way.
Time in the water about 3.5 hours
