Manly was a delight today. Again. Like very day. People coming along to do their own thing – swimming laps of Cabbage Tree Bay, talking/yapping with the excellent people that swimmers are and snapping photos of the sea life and water. Today I took photos of people yapping and lapping. For superb photos of turtles,...

As I walked to Manly for my swim this morning I noticed the big rock in the sky glowing and looking beautiful.   I arrived at Manly greeted with calm seas and a pleasant temperature reading.     We didn’t see many fish on our swim, but we talked about the different rocks that we...

Wednesday 20th October – wanderlust wednesday!   Today was surprisingly full of adventurous tales – perhaps not surprising actually as overseas and interstate travel are fast moving from a dream to a reality!     There is nothing like feeling the crisp salty spray (pictured) from the ocean to whet your appetite for adventures….. Water temp: 17.1...

It may have been poor visibility below the water today but above it was all smiles! A lot of the Wows were back together this morning and look at the joy on their faces as they congregate at the point! A beautiful morning in our favourite spot! Air temp was 15 degrees and there wasn’t...

Elsa Fran – a little frozen@17.2 degrees. Sarge & Jim.   Great hair Ryan & Hannah. Love the orange toe nails Jody. Barry & Husky     October bootie birthday girls.   Sam & Jody.   6:30 speedsters swam to Shelly  & the pipe.   Welcome back Derek. Tony still has his Lockdown hair.  ...

Such a welcome sight after a rough and rainy week, we deserve it, right? And after yesterday’s rough swell, today was calm by comparison. The Wows are finally free to catch up and look how happy they are!   David and Izzy colour coordinated     Yes it was a bit chilly in Happy splashes...

    The Exiles are back this week. But where did everyone else go? Was expecting ANZAC Day level crowds, and the beach was … empty. Back to the gym, back to work, or just some wet wintry weather? I think the wetter the better. The Masters of the Universe and other exiled groups returned,...

Hello Swimmers, today’s blog is bumpy and windy just like our conditions this morning, here you can see and hear how windy and bumpy it was: The Bumpy Blog  

Wednesday 13th October – a “Whaley” wonderful wild wednesday! There was a LOT of excitement at Manly this morning  –  as I walked to the beach I met Anita, and after a reunion hug, she could not contain her excitement, at the sighting of a whale a few hunderd metres from the shore.    It...

Freedom day 2 and it’s still pretty quiet down at south steyne.  It’s been lovely to welcome back a few familiar faces but can only assume the stormy skies have put off some or the reality of opening up is less free time!?   Water is still warmish.   Wow’s Fi, Georgina and Melise back...
