Here I go out to sea again. The sunshine fills my hair Rusty’s Pitch Report: The mighty Machine Men, take a sip of their orange juice?, before celebrating the Summer Solstice with a liberating, nude swim to Shelly. The ‘dismount’, a coordinated maneuver where budgies are removed and hoisted around the neck whilst walking in,...

Light winds and a moderate southerly swell with a shortish period brings relative water clarity which makes swimmers, divers, snorkellers, photographers and beginner surfers happy. Lots to see under water but first here’s some swimmers coming in as I was going out (late again but wha hey I’m semi retired) I spent quite a bit...

We’re definitely back to the time of year where it’s great one day, messy the next and for me it was not the conditions I enjoy most. With waves breaking beyond the point I headed for Shelley. We heard, then saw, that half way, at the bower wasn’t a great option either.     Nice...

I am taking advantage of being the blogger to give feedback to swimmers who offer to help. Don’t hesitateto offer help to another person if you think something is awry.

End of year is coming! Mathilda and Mandy and Robyn are celebrating birthdays! The Building Commission NSW starts today!What better way to celebrate than to have a swim? None.  Also – what joy to watch bodysurfing and the results of Movember.    

Thankfully I still have my bag, for now. The lifeguards said a bag a day had been stolen recently,  and even more on the weekend which is not good. Perhaps the new surf club will include a safe space for bags!? Anyway on a more positive note the water was  a lovely 21.6c, no jellies...
