Beautiful morning at manly today: low tide, calm water, stunning sunrise. Water clarity is good , plenty of fish including the yellowtails and diamond fish. I also spotted a smooth ray hiding under a rock, and a small cuttlefish thanks to marks sharp eye.

You might remember this was a question Bugs Bunny, the world’s most famous rabbit, asked regularly. It’s his birthday today. He first appeared 80 years ago today outsmarting Elmer Fudd. Unlike our B&B winter faithful he only swam once in a pool to save daffy duck. A bumpy swim this morning at 17.7 degrees but...

It is cold. It is dark. It is hard to peel off the warm clothes and get into the sea. But it is so good to swim and the memory of the last time gets you going. You have come to the beach. You have your swimming costumes on. Then you get in a bit...

Such a glorious morning! Bright sunshine, a calm ocean, loads of sea life. So everyone says. This is a  dry blog from me while I rest my shoulder. Everyone is raving about the sea life and amazing viz while I weep salt tears 😢🐠🐬 Miguel takes his photo with the temperature art every day, and...

The Ocean Swim group is probably the most legendary on the wall, with some of the finest characters to grace the BnB. Rustys...

16 in, 10 out, give me the ocean bath. Best conditions for swimming and diving, fantastic viz, lots of critters, winter swimming at its best. Clearly I’m still figuring out this blog product but it leaves Typepad for dead. Thanks for the hard work Deanna and Tim and everyone else.  

Just a quick blog from me today as I’m checking to see if all works ok! keep swimming Lainey

Seeing icicles have formed on the chalk art of the temperature, I made sure I got some photos on land  for the blog where there is a lovely atmosphere. Swimmers meeting up. Exchanging the traditional greetings – conditions, temperature, garments and footwear. Coffee – Ian like a beacon in a splendid royal swim robe On...

Changeable winds made for interesting conditions this morning. Bumpy, low viz but brilliant as usual. Critter wise the usual suspects but cloudy conditions. Some swimmers had dolphins swim under them after the 7am peloton came back in. Envious. Guy created a stunning visual tribute to Errol. The man is a genius! The ocean yields up...
