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”

Things are clearing up

This email has images from several trips over the last week. After Christmas the water wasn’t showing any great signs of clearing up and each time I went for a snorkel it was hard to spy much. That said I still braved the water to see what I might find: Couldn’t resist this picture ofContinue reading “Things are clearing up”

A winter’s day

As Dan and Joanne were over from Melbourne I had a good reason to head out and they were keen for Willyabrup, which is where we went yesterday. We had agreed to meet at 6:30. However, seeing I’m awake at 5 most days and creep round the house like a mouse so as not toContinue reading “A winter’s day”

Merry Christmas!

We decided to have a Christmas Eve get together at Welly Dam, and the hard core crew turned up at 6 for a not so early start. My guess being that it was a later start so we could make sure we were not too tired on the big day to see what Santa mayContinue reading “Merry Christmas!”
