If you read yesterday's blog and came down today in the hope of experiencing the same stunning conditions, you would have been mildly disappointed. The Easterly wind was strong, the waves 'face slapping' (in the words of Amanda Grant), visibility 'so-so', swimmer numbers down and lots of water movement. (Thanks to Lainey who took this photo at Shelly!).
At least the water was warm at 20.6 degrees and we did manage to see a cuttlefish and a dusky all around the same time as bumping into Pip who was trying to avoid being washed onto the rocks by the waves as she snorkelled her way to Shelly!
Amanda kept disappearing in the waves. I had the advantage of wearing fins which made my swim relatively easy! I offered a fin to Amanda, but the foot size was out by a mere four and a half sizes! 😳😆 She felt that it probably wouldn't be overly useful.
This blurry photo (which actually looked really good from the water without my glasses!) is of Lainey and Kate who were walking back to Manly for no particular reason other than they could! (and Lainey hadn't actually been swimming today) .
This is the cuttlefish we saw! Not quite to the photo standard of Lainey, Jocelyn, Bibiana etc but hey, a cuttlefish nonetheless!
Trying to capture the waves on camera is always a challenge but they were there and they were BIG!
Back on land and straight into solving guessing competitions! Guess who swam today - Donald or Anton? Find out in tomorrow's blog for the answer!
Charl and Suzy were in a hurry to get to their ferry! Charl's hair was clearly not interested in going on the ferry today. It was well and truly off in another direction.
These three were up to no good as you can see! It's written all over their faces! 🤣
Ian was explaining about being in the height of athleticism but covering himself up!! 🤔
Gotcha!!! 😆
And last but not least, sweet pup Maisy being super well behaved while her owner had a swim! (No, not my Maisy - I did say well behaved!)
Have a great day.
