Geez, it feels good to be able to hop in the car and drive without needing to nervously listen for the thermo fan to kick in or the warning light to alert me that things are heating up. I’m way more alert as the driver than a passenger. So it was nice to be drivingContinue reading “Going back for more”

No objection
Another four day week. Um, there is a risk I might start to get used to this, but it can’t last forever. Only until I have reduced the leave I have built up. My rationale for taking it being that I’m doing my bit to help I reduce the leave liability risk of my employer! Continue reading “No objection”
Circular journeys
The body was weary after a reasonable session at Bob’s Hollow, and Josh almost missed the chance to get out today. Messaging me just as I getting ready to hit the sack last night. Despite being achy, the draw of another morning out on rock was just too appealing. He also got a surprise whenContinue reading “Circular journeys”
Good hygiene
Friday morning arrived at a time that most would not have realised existed. Lisa was still tucked up in bed, as I quietly rolled out, and went about my usual morning routine before I head out for a climb. This included pouring two cups of tea into thermos mugs, one for me to take andContinue reading “Good hygiene”
Fact and fiction
Third time lucky seems to work. The cause of my four months of woes has been revealed, by mechanic number three. I sadly still have to wait another week for the parts to arrive and everything being put back together. They have had the car since last Thursday, resulting in me working from home forContinue reading “Fact and fiction”
Making contact
‘It’s just out there’, swim out to the pontoon and the same distance again. So I have been told a few times. Lisa was heading out for her Saturday morning plunge, and the crew enter the water right off where the pontoon is located. You could say I decided to try this new bit ofContinue reading “Making contact”
A rare sight
It’s normally ‘thank god it’s Friday’, but this week I was more looking forward to Thursday. Not because Thursday was my Friday, it wasn’t and I worked the full five days this week. It was due to the stars aligning providing the lowest swell, along with light winds, and clear blue skies. We’ve also tippedContinue reading “A rare sight”
A sore loser
It was a bit of a déjà vu moment. Leaving the house, the stars were visible meaning it was a clear sky. However, as Josh, Howsie, and I got closer to Wilyabrup the clouds masked the sky. Soon after we could see the mist coating the landscape. Finally, as we arrived and got out ofContinue reading “A sore loser”
Stripy friends
Meh, meaning uninspiring or unexceptional, is how I would describe the water this week. The swell conditions were affected by what is called a groundswell. This occurs when winds far out to sea covering long distances transfer its energy to the water, and normally results in a longer swell period. On a summers day weContinue reading “Stripy friends”
Driving with confidence
With a long weekend upon us it would have been rude not to get out twice. The ocean conditions were not the best for snorkelling, so the climbing won out and I found myself driving back out to Wilyabrup. This time with Craig, who was on a timeline to get back before the strike ofContinue reading “Driving with confidence”
