This morning was just one of those special mornings.  I know we say it a lot but with calm, clear seas and a sunrise like this how can it not put you a good mood for the rest of the day. The yogi’s getting their zen on. Ted, Val and Nicky. Jeff has just returned...

There was so much to celebrate today. Everyone I spoke to, seemed to have a really fantastic reason to be happy. With a stunning red sunrise introducing a perfect, cloudless, blue-sky morning how could we not be feeling energised. The water temperature felt like it was back over 17 degrees, the clarity was once again...

It was in fact just another glorious day and spectacular swim. We missed a big pod of dolphins that hit the bay 30 minutes after we got out. The day started like so many before but more and more light as the 6.45 photo shows. The waves we had on the weekend has all but...

When we suspend the stress induced autocraving pathology that’s perpetuated as economic policy, we find an opportunity to rediscover a timeless joy and true sense of fulfillment the likes of which can only be created and nurtured from within. In a world of on-demand disconnected disposability here we find ourselves in the timeless wonder of...

Yes, that’s right. Today’s blog had the potential to be a gold star, award winning blog. It had everything – beautiful sunrises, fantastic wave action, happy smiling swimmers, perhaps a couple of dolphins, a whale and a photo scoop or two….but I lost my camera, mid swim, complete with most of today’s photos on it!...

There were no newbies today. Maybe they were the sensible ones   In case you were wondering, yes the water was cold.

  Every generation has its own lingo and it is a matter that fascinates me. It means to be “self-aware, questioning the dominant paradigm and striving for something better.” We are all WOKE because we are swimming. And if we were not, on the old paradigm[;] the temp would have us woke by the time...

If you decided to skip this morning’s swim then then you missed out on an a great one.  The waves were just the way I like them – relatively flat and while the water temperature was down a bit, it was great company and a spectacular way to start the morning. Today is Manly Mermaid...

  I met the lovely Annie Larkin on her first day swimming with ‘The Bolds’, as she likes to call us, around 4 years ago. She’d come along on her own and was going through some tough times. As we were walking through the shallows after the swim I saw her give out a ‘Yay’...

This was the sunrise at Perisher on the weekend…   The Sunrise today at Manly. So beautiful, so colourful. We are lucky to be able to move easily between the Mountains and the Sea.   Our Yogi’s today enjoying their practice.   Claire, Felicity and Anna from Royal Far West. (This was Claire & Felicity’s...
