Fabulous summertime conditions continue

We really have been blessed with superb conditions lately - despite some significant dumps of rain, the water in CTB has been very clear for summer with days of excellent visibility. The swell has some East in it today and this means less visibility on account of more chop and churning of the sand.



Still, no one can complain about the water temps

Here's aunty-niece duo Lisa and Alice in matching cossies designed by fellow WoW, Georgina

Lots going on in and on the water today

Here's some budgy smuggler product placement

A good time was being had by all

This is a slightly failed attempt at artiness - a photo of nothing in particular

Little fish at Manly Point

And a big blue groper at the Point. It blows my mind that this fish is over 20 years old (they transition to male at around 18 and just keep growing). Not the best shot in the milky water but I like the light on its fin

Went octopus searching and found my little mate. I like this occy lots but doubt the feeling's mutual

Each time I've seen it this fan bellied leatherjacket has been around. I wonder what the nature of the relationship is

This is another octopus from yesterday

Spotted an even bigger groper at the boulders. This one's been in a few battles it seems - so many scars

A few people were trying to give him pats. I told them why this was not a good idea. Beside the fact that we swim in a marine reserve where touching the wildlife is not allowed, here are some other reasons why we just shouldn't.

FIVE REASONS NOT TO TOUCH MARINE WILDLIFE

Looking at my watch I realised I had to get a move on if I wanted to get out of the car park before my 2 hours were up (I didn't make it ).

Spotted David C and my patrol captain Ian. We're on patrol at Dee Why tomorrow afternoon, come and say hi.

And finally here's Bindi with a cloud over her head. Hard night last night, girl or is it a thought bubble?

What am I reading? I  had the public holidays off the past few weeks but I still have a little way to go with Permanent Record (my holiday regime was heavy on naps, cricket and snacks), and have a very satisfying pile of books waiting for me after this one.

For a reason I just don't understand, this piece of music has become an ear worm for me

Stay safe, stay clean, swim between the flags and put on sunscreen

Cloudy, humid, rumours of blueys - it must be summer.

Quite muggy this morning, a change from yesterday's sunshine - it seems the weather person is getting it right.

Shaun and Veena - Veena said there was so much seaweed in the shallows that she struggled to get her flippers off. Note to self, there seems to be less weed at the flags. Speaking of which, it's good to see that the flags are up again. Just an aged clubby perspective - the presence of the flags is minimising the risk of swimmer-boardrider collisions and ensuing injury.

Our very own red dog Bindi ,with Freddy lurking in the background

Lainey and Ros

Beautiful Helen happily demonstrating a correct sunscreen application procedure 

Shelley looking stunning

Martin, Michele and Annie

In the water

It's OK, he could stand

Carolyn and Ruth

They'd heard of blueys near the pool and had swum very wide. 

Carolyn said they were this big

Not drowning, waving

A kind stranger offered to take my photo

Very little to see under water today so here's something I prepared earlier

Here's the lovely Cath and lovely daughter Ruby about to brave the blueys - hope they didn't get you!

Back on shore with Lyndall, Mary, Rainer and part of Lyndall's doggo

 

What am I reading?

Cath lent me Permanent Record by Edward Snowden back in July. Well written and thought provoking. I have a very satisfying backlog of books for when I've finished this one. I'm about to get back into it now, with the cricket in the background.

Here's something a bit different to listen to

Management notices

A taste of summer

Hot already at 7.30 - the water might be the place to hang out today.  Many people had already swum or were about to. Water temp was 20.8 but felt like 21

I don't think Colby was getting a swim but he was excited to see all his friends.

 

Inez and friends. The one in a dress whose name I unfortunately can't remember has come all the way from Mudgee

The gathering of the wows

Shower scene

 

Lots of happy blog tarts

including some merfolk. The inability to remember names continues

and other swimmers

product placement

guess who

The visibility was so poor I was reduced to photographing seaweed. Can you spot the seahorse in the photo?

Just when I thought all was lost I spotted six moonfish. They are everywhere if you know where to look

Stay cool, stay hydrated, stay safe today and tomorrow.

Lacustrine compared to yesterday

The pandemic is not over, so if we could all take care with our safety and that of our friends we will  get through this

It seemed the weather didn't know what it was doing today - warm, cold, cloudy with the sun trying to break out.

This did not deter the early wows

As usual the bay was full of swimmers

More wows at Shelly having briefly vacated their fortress (damn you, blurry lens)

Visibility was not great so I don't have many fish photos for you

red morwong and maori wrasse

old wives

the elusive spangled emperor

and here's one I prepared earlier

Back on home turf after a brief and fortunately non violent struggle

Lainey blogs a lot but doesn't get in the blog very often so here she is. Wish her luck for this afternoon.

Some things just should not end up in the ocean, so I extracted a miniscule amount of them

A Message from Royal Far West

2020 has been a tough year for so many of us, not least Australia’s country children, whose families and communities have borne the brunt of persistent drought, traumatic bushfires and now COVID-19.  

I’m reaching out today to ask you if you will consider supporting country kids this Christmas when you celebrate with your team, clients, customers or suppliers?

It’s easy to get involved and there are many unique ways you can support. All funds raised will go directly towards providing children in rural and remote Australia with the vital developmental and mental health services they need.

Here are some of the ways your business can support:

• Organise a Christmas competition or Christmas-themed morning tea and ask for donations to enter
• Charge a small cover fee to attend your Christmas party and donate the proceeds
• Pay it forward and donate in lieu of Secret Santa gifts
• Make a donation in lieu of hampers or gifts for your clients or customers (or ask your suppliers to donate instead of sending gifts this year)
• Install a Tap to Donate machine (available on request) in your workspace for your clients and customers
• Purchase packs of Christmas cards designed by country kids to send to your clients or customers
• Purchase a real Christmas tree for your office and peruse our on-site markets on selected weekends throughout December

We’ve got everything you need from donation boxes to decorations, and you can setup your own online events page for contactless donations.  

Whatever you choose to do, we’d be so grateful for your support and I’ll be here every step of the way to ensure you’re supported in planning and implementing your activities.

To get started or to chat about ways you can show country kids you care this Christmas, please email me or call on 02 8622 6819.

Kind regards,

Desiree Creedon

What have I been listening to? Lots. Last night I was listening to Velvet Underground following random thoughts of Robert Mitchum, but earlier this week I was struck by the beauty of this piece

Paradox - how can the morning be sunny and grey at the same time?

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19). IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND FOLLOW PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE. 

Thank you for swimming at different times of the day and please continue to maintain 1.5m distance

When there are grey nurse sharks in the bay, that's how!

The walkway was a-buzz with tales of the beauteous big grey creatures, sometimes known as the puppies of the sea. There were various reports around size. David said the one he saw was this big!

This one at the Point - slow and beautiful. The photo doesn't do it justice.

Meanwhile, pre swim, here are 3 very fit looking swimmers and a scary background photobomber

Photobombing was on show today - it must be spring. Or the anticipation of a big marine creature.

Clare and Kerry swam early, they were off to potions class. Here they are coming back to shore

Now where can that grey nurse be?

The Wows saw one and look how happy they are. Someone was looking for seagulls......

PJs and yellowtail were around too

To round off the morning, here is Brownie the turtle

Shell a bit mossy, hope it's ok

 

Here is super blogger Elizabeth with her beautiful scarf lovingly crafted by the amazingly gifted Belinda

What am I listening to? I was going to add a music clip but instead got inspired by the thought of the potions class.

 

Another cracker of a morning

Betty the Badger says tomorrow is the last day you can put your stamped self addressed envelopes in the Badge Box. If you can't make it to Manly tomorrow, please see the instructions at the end of this post.

Following the recent rough conditions and yesterday's rain, I did not have high expectations for this morning but was pleasantly surprised.

Freddy was enjoying the warm sunshine.........

while waiting for Ted

Veena spotted a cuttlefish and a pale PJ near the Point. Unfortunately I saw neither of these

Roz and Gayle pre swim

What is it about Belinda's butt that warrants such scrutiny? David doesn't want to know

Water temp was in the 16s this morning but hopefully we have turned the corner where the air is warmer than the water. The hardy WoWs mostly eschew wetsuits all year round.

More yellowtail that you can poke a stick at

Not sure what the next 3 are

Is this a puffer fish minus the puff?

Heading back to the car, Jacqui and I ran into this mob

McNaughty with some selfie silliness

 

What am I listening to? Lots! One of the benefits of working at home. Beats office banter most of the time

Winter Badge Collection 2020

Congratulations to all those who completed their Covid-19 winter swimming challenge. As we are expecting nearly 600 swimmers to qualify, the badge distribution this year will be different in order to maintain a Covid-safe environment for our volunteers. Unfortunately, only virtual handshakes and hugs from Ian, John, Anne and Pauline and contact-less distribution.

There are two ways you can obtain your badge(s)

1. Place self-addressed, stamped envelope in the box provided outside the surf club between 7 am and 8 am any during the week,  to Sunday 6th September, inclusive. Inside the envelope place cash for your badge/s - $10 per badge for the Covid Badge (if you completed 20 swims over winter) and an extra $10 for the Ice Cold Corona Badge if you did those swims without a wetsuit. Family members/friends sharing an envelope must clearly name each swimmer and badge achieved. Please check postage rates and size of envelope required for multiple badges.

2. Post a self-addressed, stamped envelope with payment and swimmer details, as above to Ian Forster, 6 Bligh St, Northbridge. 2063.

 

Badges will be posted as soon as they arrive. If you have any other badges that you are missing and wish to purchase, please include cash for those as well.

Please Note: We will place a New Swimmer sheet and pink caps with the collection box so that any would-be swimmers can sign up and collect a cap.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Details on how to collect badges for Warringah Triathlon Club members's will be available via he clubs members facebook page.

What a morning!

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM GROUP IS CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS(COVID-19). IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND FOLLOW PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE.

Thank you for swimming at different times of the day and please continue to stay safe and  remember to maintain 1.5m distance. Please read management notices at the end of the blog. 

Yes it was cold early on but the days are starting to warm up as they get longer. We are in that lovely part of the year when we still have conditions conducive to great visibility but the air is getting warmer. This morning was close to as good as it gets under the surface.

I spent a bit of quality time with Colby the Love Sponge who was oblivious to the Shower Scene behind him. He is looking stunning in his winter coat

Roz and Claire look like they had a great swim

Did you know Ian had an identical twin?

IRB training in full swing in perfect conditions.

Perfect swim conditions too.

Some of the WoWs wearing cossies designed by talented local artist Georgina Hart second from the left

Cormorant, with admirers looking on

Groper at the Point

Visibility was stunning in some places

Jacqui and I then headed to the Bower rocks hoping to see some PJs

Pretty sure this is a Crested Horn Shark, possibly looking for its favourite snack, PJ eggs.

We got lucky, so did at least one of the PJs - this is some of their mating behaviour

A solo PJ with a groper in the background

Spotted this big flathead in the Shelly Shallows

 

With COVID cases very close to Manly - including 4 Pines, remember to keep your distance, respect your fellow swimmers and don't congregate near the surf club for too long following your swim. 

Another thing - if you have symptoms, get tested right away. The test isn't pleasant but hey it doesn't last long

What am I listening to? This is Lime Cordiale, a Northern Beaches band, covering a well known Aussie song. Who says I only listen to oldies? Not a bad cover imo.

The Arctic Blast of a weekend aka a 2 bottle day

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM GROUP IS CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19). IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND FOLLOW PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE.

Today's blog is a Dry Blog. I'm not quite over a lurgy which is certifiably NOT the Rona (relief!) so decided to stay out of the water and blog on land.

Seeing Lucy with her 2 bottles of hot water was confirmation I'd made the right call. Danny is probably thinking the 2 bottles strategy is a stroke of genius.

She and Fi did the socially considerate thing and made sure the water run-off wouldn't wet anyone's gear. Thank you ladies. That's WoWs for you, always considerate.

This is fellow blogger Elizabeth rocking a towel thingie made by Bommie, with Gail looking on admiringly / enviously. And previously featured ladies in the background, checking that no frozen bits had  fallen off and been left behind as treats for our marine buddies.

Lifeguard Josh getting ready for a day of keeping beachgoers safe. Thank you, Josh, love your work. As a clubby I have to say patrols with you as a lifeguard are a joy.

Michelle and Martin heading to the water

Wardrobe adjustment

An interesting invention - a padded swim cap designed to mitigate the impact of head on collisions while swimming

Couple of snork dorks. Wonder what the person in the foreground was looking at

Towards Shelly

If anyone ever wondered why Manly does so well in Surf Lifesaving competition, this is why. They train all the time.

The multi talented Belinda made me a scarf. Can you see the personalised bit of art work? Thank you Belinda, it is just beautiful!

Trying to be arty myself

On my way towards Shelly I came across a memorial. Lainey asked me to take some photos for the blog. David Adams' former partner passed away 2 yrs ago today. Here are some images of David and friends paying tribute.

No fish photos from today, so here are a couple from my recent trip to Lady Elliot. Can't remember if I've posted the budding occy romance shot before

 

What am I listening to? This is a folk ballad about 2 young ladies who did a really good but ultimately unsuccessful job of isolation / quarantine to avoid the Bubonic Plague. Some beautiful musicianship from Peter Knight

Festival of 500

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19). IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND FOLLOW PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE.

We are in for a few wet days but these swimmers made the most of the not rainy early morning, the pink caps a lovely contrast with the grey ocean and sky.

Water had a warm bath like quality compared to the 14 or  so degrees  this past week

Drinks Express and Wows doing a good job of social distancing

Lainey and Freddy enjoying their bubble

Happy Wows

Gifted video blogger Jac Shel hit 500km today - Today is the Festival of Jac

Best cossie

Earlier this week I saw a fan bellied leatherjacket and a cuttlefish. I also saw a few PJs but am yet to line up a shot I'm happy with.

This morning we saw a dead cuttlefish that had morphed into Bream Brekkie. Sad, but circle of life, ya know. Hopefully it managed to make lots of babies this season.

A few weeks ago I went to Lady Elliot Island with Cheryl and her daughter, and Cath and her lovely family. I've been wanting to go for a while and it did not disappoint. Open ocean on one side (manta rays, reef sharks, tropical fish, whales, dolphins, turtles, coral) and a stunning shallow lagoon on the other (turtles, reef sharks, octopus, tropical fish, coral) on the other. Endless dive, snorkel, swim and photography opportunity. I'll be back for sure.

Here are 2 of my photos from the trip. It was so good to see so many healthy looking turtles. Check through my insta for more if interested (annehenshaw)

2 courting occys

This morning Pauline, Ian and Anne were selling badges and silicone caps. Thank you folks

Message from management:

Please remember to continue social distancing and be mindful of not congregating outside MSLC in large groups.

 

Government regulations still require us to keep 1.5m away from each other unless you live in same house,

 

We appreciate that you want to chat to your friends and socialise but we need your help to make sure we comply with these regulations before we are forced to introduce more onerous restrictions.

 

With that in mind we ask that you prespect your fellow swimmers and members of the public in the following manner:

• Please start leaving bags and gear on the beach or step at below the ramp rather than outside MSLC
• Keep at least 1.5m apart before, during and after all swims.
• Arrive, complete your swim and leave.. If you are having coffee or socialising please do so away from the MSLC
• Consider swimming at different times to keep the number of people congregating at MSLC to a minimum.

 

Thanks for your cooperation.

 

What am I listening to? This beautiful offering of a famous song Ewan MacColl wrote in 1957 for his wife Peggy Seeger popped up on my feed this week. Enjoy.

 

Stranger than fiction

There are some women's shoes outside the surf club. No explanation. Maybe McNaughty knows something.

The Bold and Beautiful swim is still officially closed, as we are still limited to a smaller number of folk that would normally swim at 7. Some might see this as a bonus, (such as those of us lucky ones who love a weekend lie-in in a nice warm bed) because we can still log our swims. See the bottom of the blog for more information.

Speaking of which.......

Here are some early swimmers enjoying a socially distanced coffee and chat

David C, aka Capless Dave the Younger on photobomber duty.  A broken arm does not keep Helen from her Vitamin Sea

Upper Management JK said the swim was lovely

Today is the first outing of my new underwater camera. It's a powerful little beast and I hope to be able to take advantage of its many functions. Early days yet.

A very low tide

Wows having fun, with our photobomber / honorary Wow

Lovely happy Alex who was leaving the water

learning to float?

The middle of the bay was teeming with jimbles (at least 3 but that's 3 too many) so I stayed near the rocks. I had wanted to go to the Bower and beyond to look for the Port Jackson sharks and hopefully the seals but I am too much of a stinger wuss.

Here are some of the walkway reef inhabitants. The following photos are unedited apart from resizing in order to facilitate uploading to the blog today.

For those interested, I used the fish mode underwater HDR setting. According to the TG-6 instruction manual (page 34)  this setting is suitable for contrasting underwater scenes. This mode captures multiple images and merges them into one, properly exposed image. This mode may not function well for shooting a fastmoving subject (true but the colours are impressive). The underwater settings dont allow for continuous shooting which I prefer, but I will find a way.

Sergeant Baker

Lovely blue groper

I dont know but it's cute

I think this is a blue morwong

Mullet who can definitely see where they are going

Not a fish, but I wanted to see how the colours and clarity were. Not bad.

Some lovely seabird residents. Terns or cormorants is my guess

Swimming in the rain

 

Announcing the 3000km badge

Are you amazed by our wonderful swimmers that day in day out log nice long swims. Well now, not only can you claim a 500km 1000km and 2000km badge but a 3000km badge will be available.  Those eligible swimmers who have logged approved Bold and Beautiful swims will be able to claim the 3000km badge, the first of which will be awarded at the Winter Badge Ceremony.

What am I listening to? Being able to listen to music through the air instead of headphones is one of the many advantages of working from home. Others include more comfortable corporate attire (tracky daks, ugg boots and a nice warm blanky), saving money on products to make one look nice for people one basically doesn't give a rats about and a continually available fridge which makes the comfy clothing even more appealing.

I don't care if you're not a Dylan fan', this is gold

Have a great day, wash your hands, be kind to yourself and others.
