Special Saturday!

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING
DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19).

Thank you for following public health advice including physical distancing and outdoor exercising limits (currently 2 people at a time, within your LGA or within 5kms of your home) at all times (and please remember to check in if you’re buying take away coffee at the local cafes!)

Today the conditions were as good as they get. Apart from a bit of “whale snot” in the middle of the bay, each side of the bay was clear and calm and perfect for viewing the marine life. First stop for me was the bower break and while I was admiring the pink rocks and little fish, a large Port Jackson flew towards me and under me then went deep. A bright blue Groper swam past the PJ and myself, stopping for a quick chat.

I followed my cousin Eve and Jenny to the other side of the bay to the shed then we went back to Shelly

These things have moved from the sand to a rock with weed

My view heading south again, mostly alone but had a family behind me , showed them another PJ swimming about. So thrilling for the young ones.

This guy was hiding under a rock, it’s their cute little cave to hide in, just a peek of a tail at the entrance

This is a lovely memorial made for someone who died recently nearby, I presume the diver but have no idea actually, was touching to come across this

After my swim I was lucky enough to bump into friends, some I haven’t seen in ages, who’d swum together then having a quick coffee/chat afterwards. Everyone keeping safe and sane, so important in trying times.
