Manly Training Swim - 10k Ocean Swim





"Bold and Beautiful Swimmers" 10k informal swim Saturday 5th February

Manly-Shelly-Queenscliff-Freshwater-CurlCurl-Freshwater-Queenscliff-Shelly-Manly

Today's journey had a little of everything:
- lovely clear water
- marine life off Manly Point - I saw 8-odd feet of shark (one 4ft dusky and a couple of babies)
- big schools of fish - tailor and yellowtail
- swell around the headlands
- a headwind and challenging current into Curl Curl
- catching a wave onto Curly and a rip out of Curly
- teddy bears picnic (makes this swim special)
- tough last little section in and out of Shelly - into the wind chop - when the arms weren't working so well anymore
About 4 hours in the water total
