Last night we were invited for a drink and catch up at friends round the corner. It was during the evening, and after staying at this social event far longer than I would normally, that a discussion kicked off about going for a snorkel. Esky and I were keen and we talked Dan into comingContinue reading “On closer inspection”

The sensible choice
With 2021 rolling in, Howsie must have been feeling the need to get a bit fitter to prepare him as best possible for the challenge of attempting all of the grade 21s in the South West. I say this as he suggested that we rekindle the early morning before work climb, up at Welly Dam. Continue reading “The sensible choice”
Something old and something new
Happy New Year and here’s hoping 2021 is a little more smooth sailing than 2020. While Lisa and I stayed up till midnight, and beyond, it was not really to see the old year out and new one in. Elseya was off to a party and we had offered to be a taxi service forContinue reading “Something old and something new”
Heavy traffic
I’d previously been told about some good territory located off the beach at Stratham, which is about halfway to Bunbury as the crow flies. So today I ventured there, and while I could have driven on the beach to get to the spot I opted for a walk. After all being on holiday I’ve gotContinue reading “Heavy traffic”
The freezer
In view of not seeing too much off the local beach I headed to another section of the beach on Monday afternoon, still within Peppermint Grove Beach but requiring a bit of a car journey to get there. Wave Walk offers a narrow and very shallow reef right off the beach, after that there isContinue reading “The freezer”
A trip down memory lane
Jake was hankering to get some leading in so I offered to hold his rope up at Welly Dam. Much as he was keen to head to Bob’s this second option allowed me to make a slightly shorter day of it, considering I had been out with Howsie just yesterday. In addition there are heapsContinue reading “A trip down memory lane”
A seal of approval
It was Howsie’s last trip out to climb in South West for 2020, and his last chance to have a crack at the only grade 20 that he has not had a bash at climbing. After a blistering week leading up to and including Christmas day, it was a relief that the weekend was coolingContinue reading “A seal of approval”
Assisted breathing
Needless to say I have been having a dip in the ocean over the last few days, and not wanting to head out in the car all of my swims on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and finally Boxing Day have been off my local beach. The morning of Christmas Eve was busy on the beach,Continue reading “Assisted breathing”
Swimming for play and work
On Monday this week I headed out to see what I could find, this time I decided to go down to the Capel River mouth and snorkel in the wide bay. Driving along there are glimpses of the ocean, and it was not looking as good as I had hoped. Our local beach is relativelyContinue reading “Swimming for play and work”
Sunset cruise
After a day hanging about at home, going for a snorkel and chilling out watching a bit of TV with Lisa it was hard to motivate myself to pack up the car and head south. Kym and I had been scheming a trip out for quite a while now, and on this occasion I hadContinue reading “Sunset cruise”
