The spotter

This image belies the fact that we drove in during first light, which is starting to creep in a little later in the day. By the time we were ready to rap in the sun was already spreading across the land, washing away any chance of a near full moon picture. Today was Howsie’s choice. Continue reading “The spotter”

Putting the feelers out

I couldn’t make my mind up as to what to do today, a swim was inevitable but where to go. Part of me was not too keen to go too far along the beach, maybe feeling a little weary from yesterday. However, if the conditions were like yesterday then it could be pretty good roundContinue reading “Putting the feelers out”

Pebble beach

Dumping my gear out of the car after my morning climb, which I only did to test drive the car (not), I felt the need to get my head under water. The images of our local beach that Lisa had sent me this morning, while I was climbing, looked great but I also knew theContinue reading “Pebble beach”

The test drive

My first week back in the office worked in well for when my car was booked in to have some work done. Yes I am still trying to have my overheating problem fixed. The works needed specific tools, a bit like technology manufacturers designing special fittings to make you go to them. This meant goingContinue reading “The test drive”

Cooling down

While I was not driving today, I asked Craig if it would be silly to aim to get to the carpark at first light. He replied “yes it would be silly, but let’s do it anyway”. Working shifts he is used to waking up, and going to bed, at all sorts of weird hours. PlusContinue reading “Cooling down”

That’s close enough

With a full moon looming tonight, when the gravitational pull of both the sun and moon gang up on us, the tides have been gradually getting bigger. To be fair the tidal range doesn’t change all that much where we are, but with a lower than normal low tide much of the reef was pokingContinue reading “That’s close enough”

Coming clean

In theory I would have arrived back on dry land yesterday, after sailing in the Bass Strait and climbing on Deal Island. Instead I’m still, surprisingly, enjoying three weeks off work while staying at home. With no trips planned or taken other than some local jaunts. Lisa is equally bemused by my lack of tetchinessContinue reading “Coming clean”

Partners in climb

The upside of not having gone over east is that I got to head out with Mikey and Howsie, on their last climb before Mikey and his family were to head back. You may be forgiven in thinking that we had camped out at Wilyabrup to get a truly early start, but that was notContinue reading “Partners in climb”

Protector of the reef

Despite seeing the New Year in, my body clock wouldn’t allow a lie in. So bright and early Lisa was off for a walk with the poodles and I went for a dip at my usual spot. In contrast to yesterday’s hustle and bustle on the shore and in the water off Castle Rock beach,Continue reading “Protector of the reef”

Rock hugging

Josh was keen to get to Castle Rock, in part so a mate of his who lived relatively close could join us. One day this elusive friend of his will join us but today was not that day, and not for the first time he bailed. This of course did not stop us having aContinue reading “Rock hugging”
