There wasn’t a lot to see today. Viz was poor and patchy. You can always rely on the Mullet though! Peta swims through them in pic above. This morning the water temp had gone down a degree from yesterday to 16.7 so when asked about the swim quite a few swimmers replied ‘Cold!’ They also...

Clouds before sunrise.   Have you ever seen this?   Pirate & Suzie   Unusually Drinks swam with the Express on a Monday public holiday. My buddies posed in front of Guy’s art. This shot makes me think of underwater & one of our favourite swimmers. Kendelle has been very busy over the pandemic fighting...

Spring is doing its thing today, and the first day of daylight saving started quite nicely with warm sunshine and a sparkly ocean surface. More optimism is in the air too, with reduced COVID restrictions so close we can almost touch them.     And the NRL grand final is ON!!!!! (Don’t make a liar...

Just when you get into the routine someone decides to change the opening hours of the great marine show. That’s right – this is the last day of regular sunlight before someone takes those early light hours and adds them to the end of the day or something like that. Well this is  the last...

What’s up?  I will tell you what’s up Bugs…I am one excited little blogger today.

Now, I wasn’t sure if writing about the NRL grand final in a Manly swim blog...

This is Guy for those of you who don’t know him… standing in the foreground of our beautiful playground this morning. He’s been recording the water temp for us these last few weeks with that precise handwriting. 16.7 today. Descriptions of the swim consistently involved the words ‘lumpy’, ‘bumpy’, ‘roly poly’, ‘murky’ but given that…...

Date: 27 September 2021 Temp: 16ish Viz: 6/10 Vaccination rate: 85% and 60% (2nd Dose) Conditions: Sloppy, lumpy but overall a good morning out   On Mondays we like to reflect on the week that was and the week that is to come – I particularly like to do this on my Monday morning swim...

  A grey day.  A wet day.  Should I go for a swim or stay in bed?  Er, I’m blogging.  Decision made.

Holly asked if there...
