The Bold and the Beautiful

Since moving to Manly my life has transformed in many ways, instead of spending 4 hours of my day experiencing the variety of public transport Sydney has to offer I now get up, walk to Manly Surf Lifesaving Club and meet the Bold and the Beautiful. A fantastic bunch of Ocean Swimmers who meet all 365 days of the year to swim from South Stain end of the beach to Shelly Beach and back. Since joining this eager group of early rises I have witness the most amazing sunrises and marine life. The most spectacular was the baby whaler sharks, actually looking like mini sharks complete with shark weave, I never thought I would be this excited about seeing a shark but so many of the swimmers had spotted them I was starting to feel left out. The other truly amazing swim was a morning when the sea was filled with electric blue plankton, they shone in the sea like neon blue lights as we swam through them - truly magical!
