wild swim #3 - fingal bay

okay i slipped again! Yeh well,  when you're on a good thing. this time,  with swimming goggles and ear plugs, i went further. if the swim here earlier in the week was great,  today was greater  perhaps the water was not as clear,  and there were fewer fishies, but it was such a spankingly beautiful day.  
before i swam we hiked walked up tomaree head. the main trail to the lookout was closed for repairs. A detour took what turned out to be a trail used by rock fishermen to access secret speed on the south east face of the headland.  the view across to fingal island and tasman sea beyond was spectacular.  

after a refreshing swim we cooked bacon and egg rolls using a minimum of barbecue gear that was carried in the saddlebags. Cooking and eating in the park gave us an opportunity to share eggshells with resident crows who were unfortunate that the number of rashers equalled the number of breadrolls. 
Feeling refreshed by the "exercise" and recharged we mounted up with damp swimming gear and headed home.

If I wasn't actually sailing I would be working on my boat getting things ready. I spent two enjoyable winters on the tropical north.  In later life, I've mowed lawns for an income & continued to swim & sail when I can.  As old surfers know, there's a toll on your skin. Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
