Another wonderful morning at Manly. We had a pretty big group on the 6.30am Drinky Express. 19.8 degrees, glassy and clear with the sun shining on our lovely little cove. Aproximately 80 swimmers today. On the way back there was a turtle cruising around under us about 1/2 way back. Sorry, no picture.   Shelley...

The energy at the start of the ” lets go” from Shelly back with the Drinky Express!!   John doing the “water temp check” at 6.30am. 18.8 Water temperature is 18.8 degrees today 80 people and beautiful clear water. Lots of fish. The wait at Shelly for the gang to arrive….. A happy Jo at...

Warm water and summer days….how will you make the most of it? To inspire everyone I asked a few B&B regulars what their summer goals were… Sean is going to do all of the 6km and 10km swims this summer and he is going to try not to sleep in and miss any (like he did...

After the massive hail storm last night we were down in numbers, only about 40 of us! It was pure Joy for those of us that made it down to Manly. (as usual) The water was pretty good, not many floaters and temp was 17.7 in the water and 10 degrees outside. I found this...

Another lovely morning 9 degrees outside and 16.6 in the water but it felt cooler than that!           It was glassy and clear, lots of fish life in Cabbage Tree Bay. One of those days when you wish that you had a snorkel …..so you don’t miss any fish life. Much...

  What a morning! So beautiful. Bit chilly though. Air Temp down to 6 degrees and water temp 15.9 degrees but TOTALLY worth it. There was even a swim with a dolphin for a lucky few. Also lots of clear water and fish. I saw the blue groper and some sting rays and there were...

  Well its Tuesday and a lovely one at that. Following on from yesterday’s Mick Fanning attack I’m sure that big fins and sharks were on the minds of a few of us. No big nasties today, although Derrick had a nasty sting on his arm.   No Yoga today, its a bit chilly.  ...

      Yes, for the few of us that were on the beach at 6.30am we had a lovely Dolphin visit. Sorry, no photo’s ~ you had to be there to see it.   The Yoga was amazing, you needed a few layers to combat the chilly temperature.   The water temperature has dropped...

  Well today its the post Solstice blues…..nothing compares with yesterday –  swimming in the nude at dawn on the shortest day of the year! The liberation and freedom go the cool ocean on the birthday suit. (hopefully jimble free) The squeals of joy at the point and the quick undress on the way out...

Yes, there is 2 words for today’s swim…Washing Machine The water temperature was a lovely 19.1 degrees and the outside temp was around 14 degrees. However, it was a bumpy ride. A few B&B’s did the half way journey, but as always what ever you swam – was well worth the effort.   We did...
