Only days to the state election… and this from the Sydney Morning Herald!   Hard hitting journalism at its best! I am voting for Sterling. Will you join me in our write in campaign? His major policy platform is high speed rail along Manly Beach, stopping the boats (the Manly ferry) and 10am start times...

  For the first time ever in the history of the B&B most of us all waited at The Point for John Kelly’s ‘Let’s Go’ today! Huddled really close so he got suspicious! On the ‘Let’s Go!’ nobody went. (Except for John Bond 🙂 ) HAPPY BIRTHDAY JK!  Today’s swim is all about the funny,...

According to our friends at the BOM we are expecting significant storm activity this afternoon so it was fitting that the old adage of Red in Morning – Sailor take warning was probably right. It was a warm morning on the beach with a 2-3 ft northeast swell and a light and warm 5-10 knot...

 I can’t contain my excitement at seeing this beautiful Hawksbill Turtle swim from under it’s rock shelter, to the surface in Cabbage Tree Bay yesterday, so am starting off my fill-in blog for Bernard with him! So many wondrous creatures lurk above and below the surface of our favourite swimming spot…   There’s a link...

Great morning at the Bold and Beautiful. Can you believe the water is still 22.2 degrees? It really was classico conditions…   Scotty and I live parallel lives. We got married within a few weeks of each other, had our first kid within 6 weeks of each other, bought houses within a few weeks of...

  Life is what you make it ! ! !   I could have stayed in bed, but I made the effort ! Boy I’m  glad I did !   Not saying it was easy, but worth the effort ! This all happened before 8am     Lutz’s last Booty Camp for a while ! Goodbye...
