Deja Vu -keeping a look out for the best things.

Typepad wouldn't work on Barb's computer, so I"ve cut and pasted her blog here. It has been hard over recent weeks not to have an underlying sense that we have done this before. A sense of Deja Vu. 'a feeling of having already experienced the present situation.' However, it struck... Continue reading

On days like today, I don't turn up to Manly Beach anymore. I park at Shelly and start my swim there. Jon went back to the beach though and took some photos for me of the surf and swell there. Lots of surfers, some brave swimmers , lots of fun... Continue reading

Onwards and upwards.....

I went for a walk after work yesterday, wanted to see if there had been any improvement in the water versus pollution over the last few days. I found the washed up hot water system from during the week, sitting under a tree, labelled by the council, as if someone... Continue reading

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

Turtles, fish, rays, sharks and birthdays!

Today's swim had just about everthing included, and then more. I wasn't expecting alot as I started from Shelly and walked in the rain to the water. Always glad to have some water therapy though and the temperature was warm so there's no difficulty in motivation. The only reason I... Continue reading

To swim or not to swim....

I had planned a dry blog for today as I've hurt my back. It's a nor easter again, so quite bumpy in the bay and blue bottles absolutely everywhere! I got tempted however to hop into the pool at Fairy Bower and do some hydrotherapy , but I quickly found... 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. Life makes a small step in returning to normal, and I'll be looking forward to sitting at a cafe instead of drinking cappucino on... Continue reading

Boxing Day Adventure...

I wanted to swim early today but didn't know anyone at Manly going early, so i joined my masters squad friends at Freshwater and swam towards Manly. A little bit grey and cloudy with some sprinkles of rain but nothing too harsh. Some waves were present for sure, and a... Continue reading

Six more sleeps till Christmas Day!

I went down for an early and quick swim today, get some pics for the blog, then head home. The bay looked calm and beautiful, just a few joggers around, a few swimmers in the water, not much happening really. I bumped into Lyndall who rode her bike down for... Continue reading

Happy birthday Amanda!

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

Magic morning...

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

The lure of the summer badge!

Conditions looked perfect today as I arrived early to swim a Boulderdash, my first for the year. Summer badges start in about 7 weeks so I thought I'd better start training up, and Kevin was keen to join me so hopefully it happens each weekend now. The 6.30 crew ready... Continue reading
