Quite a nice morning


Early this morning around 8-ish I struggled into my wetsuit jumper and I headed off to Shelley beach for some snorkeling. The water is not cold but if you plan to stay in for a while it is good to be protected.

It was really nice. I saw quite a few large Groupers (see picture) - the bright blue ones are male and the females are greenish along with another 20 or so varieties of fish. It is no wonder there are so many sharks about, there are thousands of fish in that little bay alone. The groupers are large, more than a meter long but not threatening. I really liked swimming alongside it seeing what it was doing.

After an hour or so I headed back into Manly and had breakfast at the Whitewater cafe. The service was crap, but my pancakes with ice cream and strawberries were not bad (some extra strawberry jam would have been nice).

All in all a nice Saturday morning.

Tonight I am off to Helen and Derek for their "moving-out-party". Luckily they live 10 min walk away!
