Kara donned a sparkly, mermaid-inspired costume for her birthday swim today! Doesn't she look great? It was so lovely hearing The Drinks Express singing Happy Birthday to her at 6.45am at Shelly this morning as I was on my morning run. What a beautiful morning it was today with air and water temp on 17.5 and rising... and calm seas...
5.55am
Celebration time too because the lovely Kath Jackson has just got engaged to her boyfriend with the nickname 'Crackers'! So glad things worked out for you Kath and you took that risk with leaving South Africa and calling Manly home :-) Here she is with Lisa, Annora and Di.
Another group shot of gorgeous women of the B&B, Lisa, Kate, Clare and Di. Oops just noticed Jonny at the back!
Our bay was calm and serene today for a change. Visibility was good around the poit and at Shelly but not so good in the middle.
Luckily we can still see a Blue Groper or 2 and close in to Shelly they are very friendly and stay around your legs hoping you might knock a sea urchin off a rock for them (not that we do that sort of thing!)
Billie the Green Turtle has been spotted over the last 2 weeks. I did take this last week though admittedly. Did anyone spot a turtle today?
This beautiful coloured fish is a Rainbow Cale, hard to photograph but to be seen close to Shelly.
The Drinks Express this morning as they sang to Kara!
Had to include another of the lovely Kara!
I bumped in to Caroline on a bus the other day. She just happens to be a researcher at The Garvan Institute as well as an amazing Swimmer and photographer. We do have some inspiring people amongst us. Sue, Jane and Izzy are also very inspiring in different ways!
Just realised I haven't got many guys in my blog today. Here are Dean and Mike in between gorgeous Nikki. Looking very happy!
Blue Groper and his Maori Wrasse friend. Apparently the Maori Wrasse also undergoes a sex change from female to male as well as the Groper!
This Maori Wrasse was hanging around the Stingaree to get some food scraps!
