Recovering from last night

Underneath the city lights, there is a world few know about. Where rules don't apply. We emerge from our rabbit holes, a grey dark sky. But knowing that under water, clarity will come. The night before keeps echoing back. A little bit of naughty is a little bit nice. Felecity... Continue reading

Today was the wrong day to stay in bed....

Someone told me long ago. There's a calm before the storm. I know. Today I know. 20m+ viz. A plethora of marine life. Multiple turtles. A French accent off the shed points us towards 4 cuttlefish. Daphne is bragging about a horse size Cephalopoda. Andy laments that he didn't actually... Continue reading

The Temper of the Time

Sydney, nights are warm. Daytime telly, blue rinse dawn. Early swimmers Sarah & Jon (the Sales team) make it back from their 6am dark sojourn up north, missing a headlight and reporting some tumbles in the surf. No jellies. Surfing and Jellies don't mix. The beach is scattered with them.... Continue reading

Seven Worlds will Collide

Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn last aligned in 947AD in our southeastern skies. Today's early clouds stole away our view of this one in 1000 year event. But the clash of the titans was well and truly on as the FFF roared and ranted it's way into our morning. My... Continue reading

The Velvet Underground

Wouldn't recommend the Baulderdash today. Some sizeable waves, with the bommie breaking. Nothing stops the FFF. Surprisingly good conditions. A great little body bashing wave today.

Peeling back the Onion Skin

North Steyne smells bad. Like smelling salts, really gets up your nose, but instead of waking up, it knocks you cold. more pipe exposed than usual. Anti corrosive paint that hasn't corroded yet is very slippery. Peeling back the layers. Lip syncing to your favourite song. A familiar morning routine.... Continue reading

There's a light that never goes out

Deserted car parks, desolate streets. A combination of menacing conditions kept many from Manly. I pace the lonely streets and sand towards the bunker. War has been declared on the Manly beachfront. Pollution. Disappearing sand. A 4m shark rumoured to be lurking, waiting at the point. This week's we've seen... Continue reading

Worlds Colliding...Never Tear Us Apart

The Exiles are back this week. But where did everyone else go? Was expecting ANZAC Day level crowds, and the beach was … empty. Back to the gym, back to work, or just some wet wintry weather? I think the wetter the better. The Masters of the Universe and other... Continue reading
