We’re in the depth of the Sydney winter (which isn’t that bad really) but still we respond to the call of the sea. A good sized crowd swam today

Water temperature was quite a shock to some

While others did not appear perturbed

This is taking calm to the next level

A bit of cool weather won’t stop Manly LSC board and ski paddlers


The blogger walkabout…..
A 6:30 swimmer with heat source

Cheryl, fresh from Lady Elliot Island


I think today is his birthday







Fiona setting off on another marathon

Polly

Sunrise will be coming up at around 7am for the next little while – another thing to enjoy


Still it’s pretty brisk



Elbows in the water, now!





New wetsuit – nice

The Let’s Go comes a bit faster at wintertime

Heading back, someone noticed a cuttlefish. A healthy looking cuttlefish. He may have missed his chance at love this season, but got another shot at life. Hope it’s worth it, buddy
Here he is hiding



By the time I was done looking at this lovely creature, I noticed I was pretty much alone in the bay, so made my way post haste
But stopped to watch this groper and crimson banded wrasse at the point


This is Beth who kindly gave me some of her hot water – thanks!

Ian has been working on the levitation skills

…I appear to have misplaced my winter swimming mojo. Must have left it in the change room at some stage.
