These were the morning shots as the sun rose for early swimmers, just beautiful and perfect conditions for a swim across the bay and back.   Jim has just returned from a holiday in Tassie, nice! Chris et co were getting ready nearby for their Saturday swim   Lots of people coming in dribs and...

In the eye of this beholder there is little more beautiful than looking at the sea and seeing the ripple of swimmers across it. It is especially beautiful at Manly where the swimmers take rubbish out of the sea and leave only ripples behind, for everyone to better enjoy. Here is a group getting ready...

With a colourful sky and 18 degrees in the water, these 6:30 swimmers were ready to go. There were reports of jimbles and this blogger and 3 of 4 of who she swam with, were lightly stung.  Perhaps try swimming north and complete a stinger special to count towards your winter badge!   Last week...

There had been some concern around huge swell, but due to it’s dead south origins, our corner was fairly flat with a regular but infrequent...

Where did the 6.30 express go?   Found them! A bit icy at Shelley today.   Lost in the inception. If your head explodes with dark forebodings too…   “Horny for Love” screams the A frame around the neck of a wild haired crazy on my drive. The Loonies are out. The full moon high...
