Bottom feeders

Last weekend we were not heading out anywhere so I had the chance to get into the water on both days. Saturday I wanted to check out a new spot along Peppy Beach so headed out early morning, only to be greeted by a bit of a swell and water that felt cold. It wasContinue reading “Bottom feeders”

Life’s good

This morning Denis and I headed down to Willies to take Justin out. He’s over from California making wine for a few months, and admitted to being a bit rusty and only having climbed sports before. We got the base of the crag and I misheard Denis, as I thought he was keen to leadContinue reading “Life’s good”

A time of many

Last weekend as we came back to shore on the boat we crossed over what looked to be a good reef not too far from the beach. So the next morning I decided to head out there to see what I could see. This is the view I get before I brave the waters, youContinue reading “A time of many”

The Deep

Last weekend there were no plans to go anywhere, so I took advantage and had two dips in our local waters. It was still pretty murky and the swell was shifting the water backward and forward over the weed so I was not too hopeful to see much. But as is usually the case thereContinue reading “The Deep”

The return of Mr O

Since the summer holidays ended and school started we have got back into our usual routine and my trips below the waves have not been so frequent. I did nip out this morning and was very happy to see this fella again, looks like he may be a resident so I’ll have to keep anContinue reading “The return of Mr O”

The Fall Guy

Driving out this morning at 4:20 I got a text from Howsie to say he had just woken up and will be late for our 4:30 meet. There was no point in going back home and disturbing the household. So I drove to Capel, parked up and closed my eyes for 20 min. Today weContinue reading “The Fall Guy”

Hold on tight

I didn’t get out for a snorkel this morning, despite the conditions looking good. Instead I decided to have a climb on my boulder wall, which was great fun in a different way. Then the day got away with us and before we knew it mid-afternoon had arrived. We then decided to head down toContinue reading “Hold on tight”

Mr Grumpy

Last week the beach was once again choppy meaning the visibility would be poor. However, the forecast promised a hot weekend, and more often than not that would come with calmer weather. So Saturday morning I wandered down to take a dip. While there was not a heap to see and the water still hadContinue reading “Mr Grumpy”

New shoes

This morning Mikie and I headed out to finish off his 10km challenge, and he picked a great spot to do that. It felt like there was landward breeze as we walked down to the crag but we couldn’t have asked for better conditions. This place being so close the ocean and also being quiteContinue reading “New shoes”

Finally… my boulder wall

Rongy recently downsized his woodie and in late November offered me three panels plus the frames. I found out that these panels and frames originally came from the Mountain Design shop in Bunbury, so I was inheriting a little slice of SW climbing history. Lisa asked how long I thought it would take and IContinue reading “Finally… my boulder wall”
