It was not raining just when I swam. The water was great. There was a strong rip at the beach but it was very los tide (so much so that I found myself walking on rocks and sea weed before I could start swimming). Lots of big news today. Tony Fahan-Smith completed 1000km. It was...

After the severe and quick storm that hit Sydney last night, it was a wonderful to be greeted this morning by blue skies, sun and glistening surf. The water temp was a warm 21.2 and visibility at the waters edge was amazingly clear! While there was the usual strong current, the flags were up right...

Two rival gangs met up on the ramp today…Not the ‘Jets’ and the ‘Sharks’ but Manly’s  ‘Merpeople’ and  ‘Wows’.!! There were no knives or guns just goggles and pink caps and both groups merged for a photo! It was a stunner of a morning down in the best corner of the world today. The sky...

One thing is for sure, Manly is a slice of paradise this long weekend. Sun is shining, water is warm and clearing up and the vibe around town is energising – holiday on the doorstep. With many heading away and many staying local, thought we would check in on the Bold & Beautiful ‘family’ to...

Sending you all happy morning vibes from across the ocean. Old Blighty to be exact. The air is crisp and the last of the daffodils are  dotted about. If you haven’t read ‘For the love of a rose’ please find a copy. Beautiful true story of the rose ‘Peace’. In our sweet CTB  it’s all...

Nice to still have the sunshine, these days we’re appreciating it more than ever. As for the ocean, when gazing around with your head out of the water, it’s glorious. Nothing to see with your head in, except the colour brown and the occasional stick.     Yoga by the beach seems to be an...

5:52am   Guy’s temperature was up. At 6am I was lucky enough to swim with Sharna, Danny, Roberto, Tom, Trish, Jo & Sam. T’was a long way to get past the back line of breakers. We then headed north to the trident to watch the sunrise.   Drinks Expressers said the water at Shelly was...

The water is brown again. It is also messy because of the breeze. The temperature is 20.5 This weather does not interrupt the Friday Fast Fives Simon was not going in and out today – it seemed he packed the wrong gear – but he used his time fruitfully in marking the brand on the...
