What a day. The water was 17.1 which is a bit higher than the 17.0 degrees yesterday but it felt a bit colder. Tell me where I can record my feeling of the temperature to be consumed along with the thermometer reading. There was so much in the swim to reward swimmers today. Daniel Julie...

Winter is cuttlefish season, so without further ado….. Up on the walkway I encountered some amusing weekend ultraviolence   As well as calmer pursuits Film crew – it seems we are global megatarts Conversations   Elizabeth and Bernhard post swim Last week I was on Heron Island (hence the relatively few people in this blog...

    Alright stop, collaborate and listen. Ice is back with my brand new invention. Centuries of neutrality by the Swiss has developed thick skins and thick skulls. Traits that were in high demand this morning as the temperature plunged to 5 degrees overnight.   Something grabs a hold of me tightly. Flow like a...

Yup. They’re back! Early sightings of our friends the Jimbles were reported this morning. Not many. But a few to send people North on what can only be described as a ‘top shelf’ morning. A solid 9/10. Flat. Warmish. And the most delicious sunrise warming up for its Channel 10 feature piece tomorrow… As you...

These were the morning shots as the sun rose for early swimmers, just beautiful and perfect conditions for a swim across the bay and back.   Jim has just returned from a holiday in Tassie, nice! Chris et co were getting ready nearby for their Saturday swim   Lots of people coming in dribs and...

In the eye of this beholder there is little more beautiful than looking at the sea and seeing the ripple of swimmers across it. It is especially beautiful at Manly where the swimmers take rubbish out of the sea and leave only ripples behind, for everyone to better enjoy. Here is a group getting ready...
