Today the only thing I missed was a turtle . Temperature was nice and cool – 16.5 degrees and the sun was shining to keep us warm .
Plenty of swimmers and almost every marine animal was out and about. I saw a large bull ray asleep at the point and followed another down at Shelley but couldn’t keep up.
Mostly clear throughout the bay and a few gentle waves at the beach , some water movement closer to Shelley, all in all a great swim .
Don’t forget the badge ceremony next weekend.
Must book it guys

Plus this new weekend idea
Say hello to Harbour Heat, the brand-new sauna experience that’s just landed on the wharf at Q Station, Manly! Picture this: you’ve just finished your swim, the harbour breeze is doing its thing, and instead of shivering your way back to the car, you step straight into a toasty wood-fired sauna with jaw-dropping water views. Yes, really. Whether you’re chasing that post-swim glow, keen to unwind with your crew, or just need to recover after smashing a big session, Harbour Heat is about to become your new favourite ritual. Sweat it out, soak in the views, and feel amazing – all in one of the most stunning spots in Sydney.
And because our B&B swimmers are basically family, we’ve got something special for you: 15% off your Harbour Heat session with code *BBSSQUAD15*.
