Every now and then you have those days when you find it hard to find words to describe them. Fantabulous just seemed to fit. It was an incredible 24.4 degrees which for me is the highest its been and very much a tropical special and a far cry from the 14.8 I remember from the...

Whenever we are hanging on to something it costs us.  It requires energy you know, all that holding onto the way it was, the way we think it should or will be.  It erodes the present moment.  How can you completely enjoy being here, if you’re still attached to being there? Waiting at The Point...

This week I managed to get further than the shoreline (bad, naughty waves last Sunday cut my swim very short) Let me introduce you to our narrator today. Meet Cyril, the sea slug, or you might know him as a nudibranch.     I found Cyril travelling over the ocean floor at Cabbage Tree Bay...

All was quiet in the beginning.   Then it turned into a big crowd.  Management tells me 245 swimmers logged today’s swim in balmy 23.5 degree water!   Loads of familiar faces turned up too!!  Robbie and Emer – where have you been? Lucy is STILL here too!   A week after the annual Cole...

At 6.05 a.m. a bright, white moon breaks through darkish clouds.  Small yacht Tardis (name looks handwritten) is back on the Cabbage Tree.  It has a surfboard on the roof, and stand-up board strapped to siderail.  There could be true adventurers on-board? The above sign says NO to dogs, but I find Shane doing perfect...

Apologies for the short blog this morning. I am currently lying on the couch milking having man flu for all it is worth…. ‘Victoria I need a water…’ I am reliably told about 90 swimmers enjoyed the 23 degree water. Not me… I fell like I am dying. Someone get me some chicken soup… Looks...

— At 6 a.m. these days the darkness is starting to linger …   — Chiro Cara is a great communicator, and protects our knees with clear instructions.  With regular practice, she can now levitate about six inches …   — Dave strikes a Usain Bolt   — Jennifer is truly dedicated to her practice...

The illusion of linear time is purely an intellectual construct.  There are moments, that is all.  But how are these moments created?  Well, we don’t so much create them, as allow them to be so. Those who swam this morning were granted a little glimpse of this as the sun came out to shine.  So...

Wow! Sneeze and you’d miss it! That’s January ’15, done and dusted already and now we’re hurtling into February pretty fast!     We leave behind, the Sydney festival, the slow return back to work and trying to remember after our log in’s after the Christmas break, turtle rescues and beaches closed due to sharks!...
