Super Saturday blog, Anne. That wise turtle knows we all want to go back to 1985!
This what happens when you forget you are today's blogger
Well what can I say? Just lucky this beautiful bream photo bombed me at the Bower break I find this happens quite often. I swam from Shelly today with Edwina and her Masters swimming friend Marie. Our plan was to find an octopus. Edwina most likely spotted one but you'll have to take our word ...
Cool work blogstas. Amazing things happen when you go out later in the rain - open your eyes at Shelly and its
blue skies and sunshine again.
Dancing in the Rain
Full load and thunder, Ribbons of blue Ice on the window, Ice in my heart Fooling with thunder, Every time we start Bleak look out the window. Bleak walking. A real community feel when you all huddle out of the rain. Sarge channels Big Merv Bay 13 antics. While Guy plots in the backg...
Great video Pete. Definitely thinking outside the box!
Thursday 11 November: The triangle blog
Swimmers, we’ve recently debated vaxing and climate change and hot from the debating floor comes the vexing issue of whether to swim in straight lines or triangles. So I asked swimmers this morning what shape is best to swim in and I was stunned at the variety of geometry we uncovered. Not just ...

Thank you for your encouragement, Elizabeth.
Saturday squid games 23 October 2021
Wake up, it's a brand new morning. Time to greet the sun as Manly starts to awaken to a sense of normality. The restaurants and coffee shops are opening, the carnivals are beginning, the nippers are out. I even heard a tapdancing class on my way home after my swim. It is wonderful knowin...

Thanks Elizabeth - it was an enjoyable early morning swim. Look forward to seeing you back soon for a swim to Queenscliff.
25/09/2021 Here comes another one
Above: Here comes another one – but each swim is different and the mornings have more light and it arrives a lot earlier. A 6.30amish Bolderdash (which I have not done for a while) with Carel, Inge, Jason and Keith. Above: Here comes another wave and Jason has that steely look of determin...

Thank you, Sarah. Sorry I missed your headwear for every occasion - yes I was taking on that hairy ocean. It has certainly been a mixed bag of weather today.

Thanks for the support, Rusty. Friday is a really tough act to follow!

Good to hear Greg! Must be that old blue magic.
02 September 2021 A couple of blueys and well-timed dose of optimism
Are you a glass half full person or a glass half empty person? Like many, I am just really happy that I have a glass to drink from! The seawater tastes great. Above: Two blueys – one spotted near Shelly, the other in the parking lot. Both boosted my optimism for the day. Above: The ever ...

Baie lekker blog, Di. I swim in winter because the cold air is "not inside... it's on top"! (For non-Saffers this is an old SA joke).

Forsooth a fantastic blogge, Rusty and Chippo. The bard would have been proud.
I can't help feeling that a Shakespearean duck quote would have also been very fitting for today.
"Swam ashore, man, like a duck. I can swim like a duck, I’ll be sworn."
The Tempest
A tale of Vacillation: To be north or to be South, that is the question.
Rusty and Chippo’s pitch report What Light Through Yonder Window Breaks? As is the Shakespeare way, short but sweet. The crowds gather, as the groups start to form. Buggies on, or wetsuit on; just watch out for the jimbles. Cowards die many times before their deaths. Now is the winter of ...
Think it was a time warp, Greg!
Sunday 02 May 2021 A nod to the best day of the week
We’ve come a long way since May 02, 2020 – today’s sunrise may be just as stunning as year ago. But busy restaurants and the happy buzz of Manly food and wine festival today make us appreciate the contrasts to the lockdown back then. Above: Air temp at 7am: 16 degrees Water: 20.2 degrees S...
Thanks Shelley. Inspired by the trusty old Kodak Instamatic with the optional flash cubes!
