There are lots of good things about swimming on a day like today. I think one of the best is being able to get a VIP or even rock star parking spot.   Rachel and Amanda, first swim since returing from Euro Summer Country Seaweed (almost) as far as the eye can see. Fortunately, ever...

A Glide Between Manly and Shelly

Venus had company this morning, with other stars and the magnificent Jupitar bright beside her as the night faded. The clouds blended softly from the horizon into the sky. Stepping into the water feels like pressing “play.” Above the water, the sounds of coffee orders, friendly chats, and footsteps filled the morning air. But once...

Moody Monday

Well I wasn’t sure what to expect today. I haven’t swum in over a week due to weather and work. There was a beautiful, dark sky above a calm and quiet beach and bay. Loads of seaweed on the beach and hopefully that’s getting washed back in soon. The rocks were visible on the beach...

Today the sea is calmer than it has been this week. It was whispering to me however, “Go to Shelly” as it was still a strong swim. I saw that the swimmers got through the entry well but returning was clearly a challenge. And there were surfers about AFL players eat your heart out –...

Today I was 80% sure I was not going to swim. Because it was raining. Thankfully I was jolted back to sanity on hearing how great the viz was (it was pretty good). A smaller than average crew today Caroline is just back from a successful Dragon Boat Racing event in Germany. What an amazing...

A Year of Magic in Manly

I moved here just over a year ago, chasing the salt water and the freedom it brings. There’s something about spending time by the ocean—feeling the water on my skin, the warmth and energy of the sun, and the rhythm of the waves—that makes me feel alive. I find myself gazing at the horizon, noticing...
