After driving 4,000km across Australia over the past four days I've returned to the East Coast and I'm back behind the lens. There wasn't much photography going on in W.A. My time was solely focused on maintaining the smooth operations of the luxury yacht that I look after – Gen sets, air con, refrigeration, watermakers and 2 x Cat 1500Kw donks were a handful of the boat's onboard systems that required constant monitoring, for, if any of them go wrong you're literally stuck up shit creek without a paddle.
After playing roo dodgem and sweating it out driving through our vast interior, I decided to hit the water at Bondi this first morning back – and wasn't it just amazing! I hear it's 22 degrees in and boardies are the order of the day. There is a slight East swell running but with a massive high tide of 1.8m mid-morning it will be all but gone with too much water. Try later on in the day for your best chance of a wave. I suggest taking a longboard or similar.
If we are lucky this evening's sunset will be as spectacular as last night's, with Jonas Liebschner capturing the burnt oranges in the fading summer light. Nice shot Jonas!
Looks like some waves tomorrow. Expect the south swell to crank right up throughout the day. Hold onto your hats though or find a protected corner out of the wind.
Great to be back! – Brad
