It was a fun frolic in the waves for some of us this morning! Other swimmers braved the surf, currents and threat of Jimbles and others went to halfway or Shelly. Water felt a lot warmer at 20.3 but if you’re only in for 10 minutes like me it would wouldn’t it! Merrilee and Kathryn...

Wednesday 25th October – seemed full of “weirdness” for some reason.  Firstly the sky was weirdly eerie – a red dawn followed by a thickening cloud stealthily slowly blanketing the city from the south, transforming the seas from calm to calamity …. Perhaps also due to the advent of “Scorpio season”  (which started on Monday)...

Making the most of today’s good weather with a sunny forecast of 27c as Thursday’s forecast of a rainy 16c is not so appealing. A tribe of Budgie Smugglers heading in.
