Big waves…… most people tea bagged opposite the pyramid steps……. David Panton was the only person to swim to Shelley and back. He said it was pretty tough…… I managed to catch Guy videoing his temperature mural. The sea temperature was 17.9°C.

Trudging down with a weight on the shoulders and mind. A grey sky. A deluge is coming. On the eve of destruction. I start filling up my glass. The wind carries a roar of the waves, a southerly swell borne on a southerly wind. Cool but so warm to the ear. Again my friend. Crisp...
Today I was 80% sure I was not going to swim. Because it was raining. Thankfully I was jolted back to sanity on hearing how great the viz was (it was pretty good). A smaller than average crew today Caroline is just back from a successful Dragon Boat Racing event in Germany. What an amazing...
I moved here just over a year ago, chasing the salt water and the freedom it brings. There’s something about spending time by the ocean—feeling the water on my skin, the warmth and energy of the sun, and the rhythm of the waves—that makes me feel alive. I find myself gazing at the horizon, noticing...
Beautiful morning at manly today: low tide, calm water, stunning sunrise. Water clarity is good , plenty of fish including the yellowtails and diamond fish. I also spotted a smooth ray hiding under a rock, and a small cuttlefish thanks to marks sharp eye.
You might remember this was a question Bugs Bunny, the world’s most famous rabbit, asked regularly. It’s his birthday today. He first appeared 80 years ago today outsmarting Elmer Fudd. Unlike our B&B winter faithful he only swam once in a pool to save daffy duck. A bumpy swim this morning at 17.7 degrees but...
It is cold. It is dark. It is hard to peel off the warm clothes and get into the sea. But it is so good to swim and the memory of the last time gets you going. You have come to the beach. You have your swimming costumes on. Then you get in a bit...
Such a glorious morning! Bright sunshine, a calm ocean, loads of sea life. So everyone says. This is a dry blog from me while I rest my shoulder. Everyone is raving about the sea life and amazing viz while I weep salt tears 😢🐠🐬 Miguel takes his photo with the temperature art every day, and...
The surf was up today and it was rough and rippy so a lot of people frolicked in the waves or had shorter swims. One of the beautiful blue Gropers we see every day. We all love Drinky. Here he is drying his feet! Trooper aka Simon Phin has nicknamed nearly all of the Drinks...
Happy birth Monique. Nicci, Clare and her all stars prepare to launch into the blue. There is no pain you are receding Ali and David demonstrate the advanced stretching technique, wall angels. The Ocean Swim group is probably the most legendary on the wall, with some of the finest characters to grace the BnB. Rustys...
