82 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
“Lov-er-ly” and absolutely “bootiful” conditions this morning !! A superb swim leaving Gerd with wonderful memories to take home with him. Safe travels Gerd and we look forward to staying in touch via your upcoming on tour photos 🙂
There were so many wonderful underwater treasures out and about, including two 3-barred porcupine fish, dusky whalers, flathead and all our regular friends… The only thing missing were the dolphins and they are around as they cruised past just after our post swim frivolities yesterday 🙂
The Nature Conservation Council of NSW and Wilderness Society Newcastle are running a workshop at the Manly Environment Centre tonight and would like to get along as many people as possible, to deliver a submission writing workshop and to talk about the federal government’s proposed marine reserve network.
It’s free to attend but bookings are necessary, so please RSVP to either mec@manly.nsw.org.au or 9976 2842 by midday today if you are keen and able to attend, thank you.

Quite a good show on the ABC last night called “Wild ones:Shark Harbour”
You can watch it on “I view”.
It basically deals with the bull shark population in the harbour.
What was quite interesting, nearly at the end, they had a shot of the boat tagging a bull shark and about 10 swimmers in pink caps go past!!
This was the ten of us going around north head last year, you can actually pick out the individuals!! Quite worth having a look.
