I saw the shark. It did not move when we all swam over him. He was frozen solid!! Beautiful, cold and clear. Just getting feeling back now. But i do tend to winge!!

That’s great Gary, thanks for sharing it 🙂 Look forward to the ‘extra traffic’ and can’t wait to receive and share your groups’ photos 🙂
It was just magical this morning, so make sure you visit again soon…!

“The Shark” was of course a Port Jackson that even I saw at the point on the way to Shelly. Actually Sue Anne saw it and pointed it out to me or I probably would have missed it yet again. Seems to be a lot of ‘wingeing and whining’ about the cold but when you think of it, it’s only a degree or so colder than when we all thought it was fine and really we’ve had a pretty good winter with the last two days being the only times the temperature has gone under 16c. Also on the positive side the weather has been wonderful. beautiful clear days with lots of sun and no wind, clear water and the swell predicted to be about 2 inches for the next ten days. It doesn’t get much better. All we need now is a whale to come in again. There have been some Southern Rights further south that might come in even though it is a bit late. you never know so don’t be the one that misses out.

BTW Gary it’s good to hear from you, keep in touch from Mooloolaba. Hope you can come and join us again soon and we certainly will do the same if we’re up that way. I’d also like to mention Mahdi [as well as Jules] Well done to actually turn up and do a “passion” swim even though you already have your badge. Unbelievable.

Why do I never see this shark, I seriously must swim with my eyes tight shut so I don’t actually see ANY sharks!!!

And I loved my passion swim xxx. Might even come back and do a few more! Am I addicted? Maybe….
Linda….swim with a snorkle and you can see everything – it’s magical! Jules is not too impressed with my snorkle and I will have to learn to swim properly again, but in the meantime it’s like swimming in aquarium (I only swim on the flat, clear, georgeous mornings – no big swells for me!) The sharks do blend in well with their surroundings!
