A Day trip To Manly

---

For some reason I had a day trip to Manly. Jen was not well enough and stayed home with Dad and Geoff. Was a sunny day and some beach volley ball championships were being held, seemed like the early rounds, representatives from various Pacific Islands, NZ and the Aussies were in action. First time I have seen this live and the action and skills of players is amazing. No photos as there seemed to be some prohibition. One aspect which probably doesn't show on television is the height and lack of weight of several players. Walked the beach from one end to the other and around to Fairy Bower and engaged with Ben and Jerry. A few locals were sunning themselves on the rocks, their claws were quite long. Boats on the Harbour as usual. A small selection here.
