What an amazingly happy bunch of people and it’s only 7.15am! Around 180 of us enjoyed stunning conditions today with the warm air temp of 20 degrees contrasting with the freshness of the 18.2 degree water. Conditions were stunning, ocean calm and clear…
The morning sky lit up with a gorgeous sunrise at 5.56am. This was taken during my run to Curl Curl with Manly Beach Running Club.
Back in time to catch the Drinks Express setting off at 6.30am as per usual…
7am and time for most pink caps to jump in for some vitamin sea. The humble and very lovely Peter, glowing in the early morning sunshine!
The coolest gang of the B&B, the WOWS, Women of the wall! Here are Robyn, Candice, Melise and Caroline.
It feels like Summer today and it’s forecast to reach 32 in Manly!
Happy Birthday yesterday Jenny Menzies, 3rd along. Here she is with Sandy, Attracta and Kerry. (Jenny is Terry’s sister if you didn’t know.)
Β Hard to believe these two young looking things are 60!
Derek insists on including me in the photo as I step in to take photos of you coming out of the water.
Sterls, Vinnie and Dave with the lovely Julia Baird who is off to Paris today for 2 weeks quality time with her daughter, Poppy.
In a bit of a rush with work today but here are some marine life photos I’ve snapped the last few weeks. Unfortunately I wasn’t around for the juvenile Great White Shark sighting on Monday but here are some species we see most days…
I call this special spot ‘Diamondfish Alley’. Great to have a Blue Groper photobomb the Diamondfish!

Is it a Port Jackson? No its a Crested Horn Shark!
