Again today I heard from a swimmer that there was a turtle in the surf. It seems that while I cannot see the turtle myself, the turtle is happy to contact me and send greetings via another swimmer. Well I think that is pretty good. The surf was big today and strong. Direct experience of...

The days are getting shorter and the 6:30 to 7:00 window is not so bright now. Good to see some sunshine Drinks said it was easy to get out, not so easy coming back in – I came back in quite a bit later in between the Dangerous Current signs (ironic, right?) and it wasn’t...

Today was my first swim back after being away so I was keen to get in. A few people were talking about all the rain we’ve had in the last 24 hours and that it may be polluted so I almost just dipped. But then the returning 6.30ers said it was lovely and clear so...

I suppose it is connected – today the current was powerful and the moon influence was in strong evidence. The “Dangerous Current” sign had real meaning today – not dangerous but definitely strong. I took photos of FFFs and within minutes I found myself almost back at the ramp.  

Thankfully the awful humidity is still staying away. A warm morning and the water temps are pleasant. I saw no jellies today Autumn is creeping in and along with it some beautiful morning light Today is Emma’s first swim (second from the right). Welcome, Emma!

It certainly was very grey today but the swim was better than expected after torrential rain. A few waves going out but flat in the bay, murky and warm at 23.7. Only a couple of photos of today and then lots of the marine life I’ve seen in the last 2 weeks when viz has...
