swim - boat harbour #2 & #3

We went to a beautiful little natural harbour,  that is not actually a harbour,  twice in two days.  Yesterday we headed off with our surfboards to nearby One Mile Beach.  We found clean surf conditions,    but on an extremely low tide and minute swell dimensions. minute drove to nearby Boat Harbour,  which was dead d flat,  but under overcast skies,  picture perfect.  First we walked along the crimson rocks on the north shore,  then had a swim.  I was licking myself for not bringing or snorkeling gear and vowed to create an adventure trailer to carry all our gear we in case wet needed it.  
I got a surprise later in the evening when my sister asked me to collect her My n j have from the nearby airport today.  So, again we headed to Boat Harbour, this time with snorkeling gear. We found it a little more agitated by swell and soi the snorkeling was cloudy.  Charlie bobbed about happily on his boogie board using a new wetsuit which wet picked up from the charity shop for $8. A wetsuit for less that the price of a burger,  and a kayak for less that a motorbike tank of petrol.  Who said adventuring was expensive? 
What stays with me now are the colours of the sea,  sky and shoreline and the beautiful (surfer) people of the area enjoying a beachside lifestyle.

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.
