Wednesday 12th January - feeling alive. Sunshine, blue sky, a few whispy clouds, warm water, gentle swell, friends.... a perfect morning for a swim - until..... ZAP! sea lice are back! At least they arent bluebottles!
Condition report:
water temp: 22.7 degrees - warming up again!
air temp at 7am 23.7 degrees
sea state: a few waves ENE, outgoing tide
visibility: not great but still worth getting in!
critters: sea lice, jelly blobs, rays, loads of fish
vibe: happy - feeling alive!
a perfect morning!
the 7am crew - getting their daily dose of vitamin sea!
pops of colour & sparkles & waves of happiness from the mer-friends Jo, Tracey, Helen, Graeme, Andre & Natasha who is loving her beachside holiday minding her brother - manmaid Daniels place - feeling alive every morning waking up & meandering down to the water :)
and back they go..
feeling alive after their swim - Di, Claire & Tylney with Holly (who wants treats to make her feel alive)
Walter feels alive especially when reunited with his human
These next pictures were taken yesterday by my friends 12 year old daughter - a budding marine scientist like her mum! she happily snorkeled whilst we swam, despite the visibility she was delighted to be immersed in vitamin sea & seeing wobbygongs, fish and rays - more practice with the camera and she will be a pro - watch out for her instagram account which i hope isnt too far away!!!
she captured the mood of yesterday perfectly..
Since its school holidays, and plenty of the younger generation (including my friends daughter!) are enjoying the magic of cabbage tree bay (perhaps not so early as us!) and today is Youth day in India (thanks Google!) hosting programs & activities to inspire & motivate the younger generation, i'll leave you with a quote from Swami Vivekananda - Indian Monk and philosopher - "we are what our thoughts have made us, so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live, they travel far"... think wisely, speak with care, look after each other, stay safe and sane,
Have a great day!
