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”
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”
Heading in opposite directions
With two weeks off from work, a hot week leading up to Christmas and encouraged not only by the conditions down at Moses Rocks where I climbed yesterday, but also at our local beach that I had checked out on my return from the climb, I decided it was time to break the ice (orContinue reading “Heading in opposite directions”
A better ending
It has been close to a months since Lisa and I had a dip at our local beach and got up close and personal with a friendly cuttlefish. In that month I started working from home, giving me a perfect opportunity to make the most of the best midweek and weekend conditions to swim withContinue reading “A better ending”
Eagle eyes
It had been predicted to be a breezy weekend with the wind direction not being ideal for going for a dip. However as I drove Steve home from the hospital after his last operation, which I might add he only just had done in time before they start to can elective surgery, I was watchingContinue reading “Eagle eyes”
The Blob
Last weekend I squeezed in a quick snorkel before everyone rocked up to our place for the first viewing of Wiggins latest video. I had two reasons for this, well maybe three. The conditions were lovely and I knew that the rest of the day would be chewed up so it was my only chance;Continue reading “The Blob”
It’s all in the tail
It is going to be a busy social weekend for us with the weekend packed with a year twelve ball, meals out and a bit of a shin dig for the premier of the latest Wiggins film, of which you will hear more about after the red carpet event has occurred. But before the mayhemContinue reading “It’s all in the tail”
