What a holiday time. So much goings on - enough to try any ordinary person BUT we are swimming in the Bold and Beautiful Swim Squad at Manly - give or take a few tribes either side of 7 am - and we may be collecitng swims for a badge. As Anne said this morning - it is for the badge, Madge.
Today there was red algae close to Shelly Beach, lots of seal lice, orange jelly blubbers and also some jimbles. At the knee of the legends of the swim we were always told that jimbles come out in winter, that they avoid the waves. Well, jimbles have overheard and they are in waves. They are out and it is summer. Do they have the wrong hemisphere perhaps?
At least the water is a high 22.8. I saw some squid but they evaded my camera.
Big news today is that it is GEOFF THORSEN'S 80th birthday. Apart form being a great triathlete and member of the superb Warringah Tri tribe, he also has a great sense of humour (ie it aligns with mine). His gorgeous group of friends sang "Happy Birthday" heartily and there was chocloate cake. All the best Geoff. One can only hope to follow in Geoff's footsteps - great swimmer and triathlete and a lovely person worthy of a great tribute on his birthday from friends.
And that is another swim ticked
Bit of orange blubber presence
Such cheery swimsuits aboud!
I was trying to photograph squid near the point but got Ian instead - fair substitution, I would say.
