My car told me the outside temperature at Manly was 10 degrees this morning. Very thankful for the 18 degree water temp. You can read the story of today's art work on Guy's insta page temperature_guy_manly
I often put a drop of liquid soap on my camera lens to stop fogging. Before getting the camera wet it gives the old vaseline-on-the-lens effect, not really intended here
Napoleon is feeling much better.
That's better!
But sorry (not sorry) today was a sea creature kind of day. Get ready!
This is the preview, seen at half way
This is not a cuttlefish.
A few peope were hanging around the Great Cuttlefish Battle Ground. I thought there was one big cuttlefish with his head in between the rocks, presumably feeding
But nooooo. He was bullying another big male who seemed to be trying to get out.
Here you can see the underneath cuttlefish
And it's on!!!
Very clear at the Shelly end of the swim
Freediver maintaining a respectful distance. It's actually quite difficult in the shallow water because the cuttlefish go where they please and as a photographer you have to keep moving to give them that space, not that they seem to care but still.....
Lots of these around today
A flathead masquerading as a rock at the Point
And most importantly, it's Annie's birthday today - I hope you're having a very happy one!
What am I listening to? I threatened it and here it is, sorry Belinda W. Margot..... enjoy!
And now a note or 2 from Management
Winter swimming
The Winter swimming season is nearly here! Although the water temperature may be a little colder than you might like, there are several advantages of swimming in winter, including flat seas, good visibility and no bluebottles. Perhaps the biggest advantage is that you can also qualify for a WINTER BADGE by swimming a minimum of 20 times between 1st June and 31st August. You must also swim in at least 7 different weeks. If you manage to do all of your qualifying swims without a wetsuit (or other thermal enhancing equipment) you will also qualify for the coveted WWW badge (Winter Without Wetsuit). Start now, and don’t forget to log your swims to qualify. If you don’t know how to log your swims, contact Ian ([email protected]).
