This morning carried a quieter, moodier energy – the kind that seems to settle in as the year draws to a close. The ocean felt raw today, a little untamed, and it matched something internal. Arriving at the beach, I felt myself naturally slip into reflection, aware that this is my final week of work...

Following an epic Corso wave showdown, our sprint gang gathered at Vinis to debrief. And the topic turned to SixSeven, a quote, a meme, the height of a basketballer, a rapper called Lord Skrilla, and hidden messages in Home Alone. 20 minutes later and I still didn’t get it. Much like yesterday’s Bondi events, my...

I often wonder about the various reasons why people swim in the B&B and this morning I wanted to find out. Here are some the answers  

Today was a beautiful day for a swim despite some waves and surge in the bay. Temperature was 21 degrees. The beach went from being fairly empty to lots of 7 am swimmers then beach goers later on came to have a dip and some sun time. Ian found three of us chatting and swimming,...

It is always nice to swim in the rain. There is something gentle about it. And we got a lot of sandy beach with thanks to the tides. We now know that the sea can decide to lap the wall or recede to the point. Amazing.   And I love to see the juxtaposition of...

The sand situation is looking great with a...

Last night was one to remember. Our Bold & Beautiful Christmas party at Bucketty’s Brewering Co. had everything: laughter, connection, a whole lot of dancing, and a cracking playlist that took many of us right back to our glory days – The Killers, Violent Femmes, Fleetwood Mac…etc. It was so good to let our hair...

    I took this photo pretty early with these guys checking conditions. A bit of surf today but nothing too hard to get through. Victoria looking absolutely beautiful as she walked with her son to presentation day at Manly Village. A recent sighting. Labrador of the sea- Grey Nurse There are a few tickets...

Manly was buzzing with people this morning and it started super early. I arrived to swim with the 6.30 group, got in a bit late, and never really saw the early group or the 7am group in the water. Temperature is up to 21.6 degrees, there was enough bounce and surge to work me out...
