Sunrise, Swell and Seal?

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING
DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19).

Today’s sunrise was beautiful, it unfolded gradually and had multiple layers.  The swell was also up.  Yesterday as I was entering the water at 6:45 a seal was playing in the waves right in front of me. Another swimmer and I watched and waited as he scared fish – one fish hit my leg and I let out a little yelp.  The seal was so joyful. It looked like several of you swam with him yesterday- did anyone see him today?

I didn’t see much on my swim today, but my partner captured this fiddler ray as he was swimming with our daughter who is well on her way to earning a winter badge!

Do you love cuttlefish? Whyalla, SA is the cuttlefish capital of the world. Every year from March – August 1000s of cuttlefish go there to mate.  I went over the Queens Birthday long weekend and below are some of the photos from the trip.  The location is 35km out of town, but you only need to swim 5 metres off the shore to see them. They are everywhere! Water temp was 15 degrees, this WWW swimmer spent 2 hours watching in a wetsuit and was quite comfortable. If you love cuttlefish, I highly recommend a trip.

This is where you swim with the cuttlefish – you can see the swimmers close to the shore.

Cuttlefish everywhere!

These cuttlefish fought over a female

This cuttlefish had 3 mates!

Keep swimming and stay safe and well.
