Just in case you were wondering why there was no post of my underwater adventures last weekend. I did head out but despite the water looking calm, underneath it was a whole other story. There had been some strong winds and swells, up to 4m, in Geographe Bay and the outcome being there was veryContinue reading “Autumn arrives”

Watching the clock
The mural on Wellington Dam was officially unveiled a week back, and today being the start of a long weekend there would no doubt be an onslaught of tourist driving by to take a look. Being still early as I rolled past, I had the place to myself so I took a couple of quickContinue reading “Watching the clock”
The power of positive thinking
After a few weeks of hitting the bolted walls at Welly Dam it was time to get back onto the coastal crags for a bit of trad. There was a bit of committing and bailing to heading out by a certain party, and in the end Craig did join Jamie and I on a tripContinue reading “The power of positive thinking”
Déjà vu
The same troop of us headed out past The Point as last time and as we drove out we finally came across a bay that was free cars. Each bay seemed to have occupants already set up, and in the bay we chose we were nestled between two parties. Behind us a couple were fishingContinue reading “Déjà vu”
A splash of colour
I’ve only had one full week of work since mid-December and that was working from home, so it really didn’t feel like a full week with all the snorkels I got in. This week was also short, as Lisa and I drove up to Perth to help our daughter settle in at University. As aContinue reading “A splash of colour”
Not one to give up
Ever hopeful that the five day lockdown was enough to abate an increase in community spreading of the virus, we organised a trip to Welly Dam for Saturday morning. It wasn’t until the bells tolled at six o’clock Friday evening did we were whether our planned trip would be allowed to go ahead. Fortune wasContinue reading “Not one to give up”
Playing hide and seek
Well I didn’t manage a snorkel every workday this week, and in truth I’m not sure why. The winds were predicted to be up so I was sceptical about my chances. However, from early on each morning before it was light I listened out to get an idea of what the winds were actual upContinue reading “Playing hide and seek”
No complaints
Not that I’m complaining, as what we are going through really is a drop in the ocean compared to so many other people round the world, but we have after all our months of freedom gone into a five day lockdown. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets extended and if that happen the timingContinue reading “No complaints”
Trying to focus
Seeing I had bouldered on my indoor wall on Wednesday and then climbed at Welly Dam before work on Friday, I had already decided that I needed to rest up from climbing this weekend leaving me two whole days to get some snorkelling in. Geoff and I were hoping to go in for a dipContinue reading “Trying to focus”
Precognition
Being woken by the alarm at 3:45 made me wonder what I was thinking when I said I would meet Howsie and Rongy up at Welly Dam for a before work climb. My mind nor body was ready for such a rude awakening and if it wasn’t for the full moon, most of the journeyContinue reading “Precognition”
