After what has seemed like an interminable but welcome summer, fall has arrived in Sydney. This week, the air has taken on a noticeable chill in the mornings when I head down to Lavender Bay to push off for our daily sunrise paddles. This year has flown by.
Our sunrise paddle customers always ask, do you get used to this view, seeing it every morning? Not at all. It's my happy place. Not gonna lie - it is difficult to get out of bed sometimes, to put on a cheery face and face the world. But without fail, as soon as I hit …

We've not been able to go out on the water the past few days, no thanks to gusty winds of up to 45 km/h. While it was luxurious to be able to sleep in, it felt really sweet to be back out on the water this morning. And what a sunrise to be greeted with …

Huge huge thanks to Richard and Sandy for inviting us over to their place to catch the pyrotechnics display over Sydney last night! They have a stupendous view, not just of the iconic Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge, but also of the length of the Sydney Harbor, packed with sailboats anchored all along the …
We checked off one of our bucket list items this past weekend, by catching the annual Rolex Sydney to Hobart race. And what better way to do so then on the water? We went out on a 40-foot yacht with East Sail - SO MUCH FUN. It was really exhilarating to catch the action right …

We couldn't have asked for a lovelier sunrise on Christmas Eve. Great clouds led to a long and sustained orange sky. Such a peaceful way to greet the morning. After, Lisa, Jeff and I headed up to Manly for a Manly to Shelly swim. This time last year, we had just set as our 2017 …
If the wind conditions aren't insane, chances are, we are out on the water at sunrise, pretty much rain or shine. This morning's forecast was supposed to be clear skies, but we know how unreliable the forecast is. As it was, I could see the thick blanket of cloud float eastwards, over the top of …
We got back to Sydney late Sunday night from a fun wedding weekend in Melbourne. A bit too much indulging, which is tiring business! So a potential sleep-in thanks to the lousy weather forecast didn't seem like a bad idea. But the weather has been playing up on us recently, so we decided to take …
The weather is warming up, as we march towards summer here in Australia. And the sunrises have been getting earlier by the day - though that means that I don't have to rush to work after pack up. 😉 Here are some of my favorite shots, in no particular order, of our past few weeks …
We had the good fortune recently to spend three short but full days in Hong Kong. Landed at 430am on Sunday, and we promptly headed over to Mongkok in search of some nibbles. In terms of food - and 24 hour accessibility, Sydney has nothing on Hong Kong. Our game plan: order from places that …
