16/04/2024 – Some swam with Dolphins :-)

This was Silky, the lone dolphin who swam with us back in 2013 but… a lot of the Drinks Express swimmers swam this close to dolphins early this morning! Suzie said there were 5 of them including a Mum and bub. It was a stunning morning today with an amber, glowing sunrise and warm air...

Monday 15th April 2024 / The sun rose twice

No words, Drinky! I swam with this 6am crew Welcome Roarke & Riley with mum Bronwen from Johannesburg. Owing to the cloud layer on the horizon, the sun appeared rise twice. Sally (right) and her swimming buddies. Did Caroline beat Jon? Roberto & Nick swam north. Mary & her buddies John & Bonnie The boy...

09/04/2024 – Weed, Guv’s Bday and Frangelico

The Drinks Express braved the weed and murky water as did quite a few 7am swimmers today. It was challenging going through the thick weed but viz was up to about 3 metres, the waves weren’t too big and it felt good! Hopefully we won’t get sick but most of us who risk it don’t....

Friday 5 April 2024 Rare experiences

The BOM said do not travel if not essential. So that meant that there were parking spots near the ramp for anyone who wanted it. It also meant that we could not see the temperature because the rain washed it away but we knew it was great art.  It was so dark I could not...

Cabbage Tree Bay does not disappoint

Today’s temperature artwork has an interesting back story even if like me you are not a cricket tragic. Read Guy’s insta post @temperature_guy_manly for more details, and give him a like and a follow if you haven’t already. My best intentions of an early arrival to catch the sunrise did not come to fruition and...

Wednesday 3rd April –  the calmness before dawn…

Wednesday 3rd April – the calmness in the dark, before dawn breaks. Early swimmers brave the black water, the flickering lights on their goggles twinkling like fireflies in the dark… The DPI contractor checks the shark nets, the Manly Life Saving Club athletes warm up on the sand in front of the club, boards lined...

Tuesday 2nd April – Crowds and great conditions gone

The excellent conditions of the last week,  and especially the Easter weekend,  couldn’t last so it was no surprise to read Guy’s temperature report saying the ocean was grumpy. At least the sunrise was worthwhile and for the 7am-ers there’s not too many more before the clocks change and we’re back to lighter mornings. Greg...

Mad Dogs and Englishmen

Never thought we’d ever end Is it that time. The light has almost gone. The carnival moves on Caroline’s Pitch Report: Hot Cross Buns. It’s 22.1C. DX continue their romance with the dark, lights flashing across the bay. A 20 foot Grey Nurse was sighted! (trust me, it was big). on the outward journey and...

Happy Birthday Ted

So atmospheric this morning, quite lovely. We will have another week and a half or thereabouts of darkish 7am starts before we put our clocks back at the end of daylight saving on April 7, and we’ll have bright mornings again for a while Guy’s illuminated art work Andrew brings his children Poppy and Louis...

On a clear day you can see forever

A fantastic and delicious treat. Brian and Melissa silhouette against the view that greeted us today The temperature a balmy  22.1 , thanks...
