Good morning! Another terrific Tuesday was on the cards today with the arrival of lighter mornings, warmish waters still, perfect weather and lovely clean conditions- seems to be a tuesday tradition!  The morning began with chats at Manly pre swim, making us that little bit late as we swam over to Shelly.  We all met...
