Monday 14th March 2022 - Beachwatch & Matisse - The swimmer in the Tank

Bootycamp got wet but also took time to collect rubbish.

The Doctor said , “the water turned my white swimmers brown”.


The Trooper said the water at Shelly was NOT clear.

Linda has suspended her ocean Goodswim school  until further notice.

 

Shaun Veena & Martin took the coffee option.

I spent yesterday afternoon on patrol, removing scores of branches and logs from the beach also strewn with dead bream & leather jacket fish.

On Friday I visited the Matisse exhibition and like “Swimmer in the Tank” I’ve opted to swim at the Andrew Boy Charlton (ABC) pool until Beachwatch gives us  a green light water rating.

The Matisse show also featured his swimming themed paper cutouts:

Blue nude (cut in 15 minutes).

 

and a video of Matisse cutting his “Polynesia, Sea” - with seaweed, coral & jimbles

Today I swam in the Tank with the  5:30 am crew.

Stay safe.

Simon
