Don't do it.....

But quite a few did. I thought I might swim from Shelly today but didn't even do that. Heavy rain with big waves and large swell everywhere turned me off. I had fun watching the surf skis working out early today plus the surfers and the odd group of swimmers.... Continue reading

Change is good....

Today we heard the news that the southern area of the northern beaches, everywhere south of the bridge at Narrabeen, can now have more relaxed restrictions.

Today I swam a bit later than I usually do. Manly was buzzing on a sunny and surfy day, lots of people playing volleyball on the beach. I could see it wasn't going to be as calm a day as I thought in the bay, lots of surf as well.... Continue reading

I started at Shelley beach today, not because of rough conditions, but because I"ve had some back trouble and wanted to enter easily and slowly in shallow water. Conditions at Manly looked lovely as I drove past. My pre swim view, plenty of early swimmers stopping before they set off... Continue reading
