I cannot quite put my finger on it, but there was something rather serene and inviting about today’s swim. The clouds parted ever so slightly and the greyness of the morn beckoned us in.
John’s temperature test this morning:
The 6.30ers without wetsuits looked a little chilly!
All around the May pole:
One of the many reasons why Manly Beach is famous:
Not sure the reason behind these beautiful flowers near the ramp:
The royals came to visit:
Snorkelers:
Dodging seaweed – level expert!
Spewing that all my cuttlefish photos turned out blurry – it must have been the excitement of the moment!
A chill in the air at Shelly:
Yay for first time on the blog!
All in sync at The Point:
Have a lovely day!

Nice blog Anna. Can people keep an eye out for illegal fisherman around in Cabbage Tree Bay. Came across 2 at 5.45am, one fishing, the other standing by with a large bucket with a cuttlefish in it. Evidently they had caught it before I got there. I asked them to put it back but they did not so I told them I was going to report them. Needless to say they scampered after that with bucket in tow and Cabbage Tree Bay minus one cuttlefish. Please can the bloggers not put location of specific fish/turtle/cuttlefish sighting as these guys were in the exact place that the cuttlefish was reported as being seen the other day. I just wish I had got their number plate but I was only one female against 2 very large men who said they did not know CTB was a no fishing marine park! As if!!!

As mentioned in the blog the other day the flowers are in honour of Jacqui who is the Mum of one of our swimmers Charlie and her sister Kristy. Jacqui was a regular fixture at that spot on the beach. She passed unexpectedly last Sunday and is missed by very many in the Manly Community. RIP Jacqui and love to Charlie, Kristy and their families

Well done Lee for speaking up and trying to protect our cuttlefish – how devastating that it was taken. Maybe there should be cameras installed which cover the access to the water and the carpark so that it isn’t just reliant on individuals to try and get their number plates or to confront them
