Day for it 💙
Beautiful swim this morning. Water warmer than the air temp. A lovely walk and coffee afterwards to warm up 🥰 F#ck cancer 🖕

Wednesday 11th Jun
Floated down the inlet to the ocean 💙
Perfect weather today at Dalmeny beach. I managed to use the outgoing inlet tide to catch a ride to the ocean. The tide was getting strong though so I got out just in time before it would have taken me to NZ 😏

Tuesday 10th Jun
A balmy 18 degrees in the water today
It was colder out of the water than in today! Beautiful and clear, with only one other swimmer. A post-swim snack of hot chips and an iced latte were called for 😏

Monday 9th Jun
Seal kept me company today
Cold today but beautiful once I adjusted to the temperature. I had a seal for company, just cruising up and down in the shallows. And a huge sea eagle overhead that was riding the wind currents looking for a meal.

Saturday 7th Jun
June long weekend has begun!
