Simon hid his wetsuit today when I asked him and Matt to pose for a blog photo! I've the photographic evidence of him picking it up afterwards though! A stunning morning down at the B&B today. The temp had risen to 16.1 (barely noticeable), the sun was out and the seas were calm. Viz was good at the point and Shelly but only about 5 metres elsewhere.
You can't trick us Phinny!

Peta and Jim. Jim is performing at The Manly Bowlo on 5th November btw in aid of the Streetkids charity. Put it in your diary
The 'Men of the Door' getting psyched up for their swim!
JK NEVER wears a wetsuit. But does he look as happy getting in as the wettie wearers like Pete?
Some of The Drinks Express coming in but a bit too silhouetted Capless and Wettieless Dave in the foreground.
Dr Penny Berents enjoyed her last swim with us for a while as tomorrow she goes on a research ship called 'The Investigator' to find new marine species in the Indian Ocean! Good luck Penny!
There was a huge Smooth Ray near halfway on the sand. Wish I'd seen it swimming!
The Blue Gropers always amaze us!
and if you happen to see a Port Jackson swimming in the shallows that's a real reason to smile!
I love the Crimson Banded Wrasse!
There are actually squid in this picture! Very camouflaged though.

The squid again
The massive and beautiful school of Diamondfish we've been swimming over if we go a bit closer to the rocks. These have been hanging near the shed for weeks!
Reposting info below from Friday. Unfortunately the trivia night seems to be sold out but the raffle is on for everyone!
It seems unimaginable that our friend, Nigel Scozzi, who taught many young locals how to save themselves and others on our beaches, would have a freak surfing accident at Queenscliff leading to life-changing spinal cord injuries.
But six months ago, this actually happened. Nigel was surfing with his son and was found unconscious in the water.
Our legendary lifeguard Wayne administered life saving resuscitation and with the help of a Careflight emergency doctor and paramedics brought Nigel back to life. Once stabilised they took our friend, teacher, mentor and surf lifesaving legend to the Royal North Shore Hospital. He hasn’t been home since.
Let’s give back some of the energy and love Nigel has put into our community by helping him back to the beaches to live with his young family, friends and community again. We need to raise funds to help modify his house for wheelchair access and to cover ongoing care, medical expenses, treatment and transport.
A portion of the proceeds will also go to Royal Far West and the environmental charity for Cabbage Tree Bay.
Come along and bring a crowd upstairs at Steyne Hotel on Tuesday 11th October for a BnB fundraiser hosted by our Quiz Master JK from 6pm. Tickets on sale Friday 16th September from midday for $35. Tables of 10 or singles all welcome
If you can’t make it, please donate at GoFundMe Support for Nigel
Have a great week!
