Again today I heard from a swimmer that there was a turtle in the surf. It seems that while I cannot see the turtle myself, the turtle is happy to contact me and send greetings via another swimmer. Well I think that is pretty good. The surf was big today and strong. Direct experience of...

The days are getting shorter and the 6:30 to 7:00 window is not so bright now. Good to see some sunshine Drinks said it was easy to get out, not so easy coming back in – I came back in quite a bit later in between the Dangerous Current signs (ironic, right?) and it wasn’t...

Today was my first swim back after being away so I was keen to get in. A few people were talking about all the rain we’ve had in the last 24 hours and that it may be polluted so I almost just dipped. But then the returning 6.30ers said it was lovely and clear so...

I suppose it is connected – today the current was powerful and the moon influence was in strong evidence. The “Dangerous Current” sign had real meaning today – not dangerous but definitely strong. I took photos of FFFs and within minutes I found myself almost back at the ramp.  

Thankfully the awful humidity is still staying away. A warm morning and the water temps are pleasant.
