Early Morning

For anyone wondering why you would get up early to go for a swim at this time of year, check this out. The photo's don't really do the sunrise justice (the camera is just a cheapo bought at a hock shop) but you get the idea. The water temperature is holding at summer levels. A beautiful morning to be out.

Bondi SBLSC's finest heading for the early dip.









Look at that sky!

I love the smell of salt water in the morning.

Staff and swimmers at the Icebergs saw their first Humpback Whales of the season go by just after midday yesterday. There was a dive boat off Ben Buckler and they appeared to pass closely. Imagine diving off Bondi and a whale appears out of the blue wall. Would that get the heart racing or what?

Snorkeling with the Right Whale and Calf off Tama Reef was enough for me last year. I expected to see them, however the size of such a magnificent animal underwater is awe inspiring. I don't know that I'd want to be approached by a Humpback, after seeing their frisky behavior on many occasions.
