Under moody skies, reflecting the sadness of the Bold & Beautiful community who have lost stalwarts Ted de Jager and Justus Potgeiter in the last week, after a few stellar days with dolphins and turtles bringing smiles and joy, mother nature decided that she also must mourn... sending choppy seas and lots of bluebottles... the planned memorial swim to remember two kind, generous men who contributed so much to the B&B and wider community is deferred now until Saturday, 7am - please watch the B&B face book page for details.
Guy's artwork lifted the mood as always, adding colour to an otherwise dull day.
water temp: a warm 23.6 degrees
air temp at 6:30am: 24.5 degrees
conditions: moody, invaded by the "blue peril"
vibe: sombre
not many dared to venture into the "blue peril" infestation, and those that did, felt its pain. Kylie and Murray attempted to breach the blue wall with some success but not without pain, Murray made a quick exit to tend to his wounds....
Capless suffered.....
Brave Caroline nearly breached the "blue wall", and combined with a run on the beach to Queenscliff playing slalom with the bluebottles on the sand
The bench was quiet today. Holding dear the memories and stories from Ted and Justus and all who shared them. If only the bench could talk, however it will forever keep its secrets. Henrietta, Alan, Jim and Iron Man Geoff quietly holding the fort.
Ian gave his morning wall pep talk, advising of the "blue peril" and options of harbourside, coffee, chats and, really, anything else. The Drinks Express swam harbour side which is a rarity!
Liz and Rob travelled all the way across the Spit Bridge from Balmoral only to join the "coffee group" instead.
the Guvnor, shanny and john all dipped, avoiding bluebottles
others chose the coffee & chat option!
Our hearts go out to Lainey, Charlie and Soleil De Jager (& of course Freddy), and Charl & Susie Potgieter & their families as we and the ocean wrap them up in our hearts with huge warm heartfelt salty hugs...
Stay safe, stay kind and look out for and after each other, wrap up your friends and family in warm, huge, salty hugs,
Jocelyn
