Surf, Salmon and Snails
Wednesday 11th Mar Started early with a ride to the beach and a body surf with fellow ocean swimmer and Iron woman Steph. Nearly got taken out by a shoal of Salmon ... which would have been hard to explain the the paramedics. Home to wippersnip the vegie garden grass ... gets abit messy when you hit the odd snail. Then planted 26 Cauliflower seedling and picked another 5Kg of Tommy Toe Tomatoes. Was it Paul Newman that once said 'Passata is bellissimo with home grown' (It probably wasn't him that said that, but I bet he wished he did!) Share
Leonardo DiCaprio, 2284 Cans and Bottles and a bunch of 'Friends'
Tuesday 10th Mar Phew ! Helped the Friends of Mallacoota infeed 2284 Cans and Bottles into the reverse vending machine. How long does 2284 Cans and Bottles take to infeed by 6 volunteers? The answer is 2 Hours !!! Way more fun than going to the gym! As Leonardo DiCaprio said " Plastic pollution is a global issue: killing wildlife, contaminating our oceans and waters, and lasting far longer than it is used!" And Leo should know because he was on the Titanic and the Beach! Share
Is an electric bike a real bike ?
Monday 9th Mar Is an electric bike a real bike ? Just to be clear, I was using pedal assist - so I guess the answer is YES ! Early start and ride (the said electric bike) through the bush with Kip (our dog) to Betka Beach. Here we enjoyed an early dip in the tannin rich waters of Betka River. The sunshine filtered through the brown liquid creating great columns of filtered amber light. Beautiful ! Was it Mr. Dilmah that once said 'If my tea had the colour of tannin waters I would be a happy man!' Share
OCEAN SWIM WITH A GNARLY SHOREBREAK
Sunday 8th Mar Headed out this morning and tackled a body surf with my BBF Stephanie Mew ... the waves were gnarly and the sandbank contributed to a heavy, hollow break. Another pod of Dolphins ... It's a tough gig! As Karen Blixen said "The cure for anything is Saltwater - Sweat, tears or the Sea" Share
SANDY FEET AND CRABS
Saturday 7th Mar Early morning walk along the beach before the light rain started. Then ... because I was already wet and the ocean was calling had a dip ... avoided a close call with a couple of sand crabs - As someone once said "All good things are wild and free!' I wish I had have said that! (Well I kind of just did!) Share
Blue Tongue Lizard and a pod of Dolphins
Friday 6th Mar Got into the ocean today with my Boogie Board and caught a few good rides ... A pod of Inshore Bottlenose dolphins shared the waves on their way past. Helped the fellas stack a load of fire wood and saved a Blue Tongue Lizard from a flock of hungry Magpies ... Share
20KM Beach Clean
Thursday 5th Mar Today we upped the anti and did a 5hr mission. Along the pristine coastline of Croajingolong Nation Park collecting Marine Debris (as part of Sea Shepherd Marine Debris Campaign) We experienced the full kaleidoscope of Autumn weather - Rain, Winds, Sunshine and Humidity. Collected a ship-load of ocean flotsam and jetsam. Enjoyed every minute of being in the great outdoors! Share
The great outdoors blew me away ...
Monday 9th Feb The great outdoors always blows me away ... but yesterday it was literal. The wind came through and moved the outdoor furniture down the paddock, the apples on the tree were airborne and as far as the washing was concerned ... two pegs per sock!!! Share
GOANNA in training
Wednesday 4th Feb OK ... So I'm gearing up for the March Earth Hour Challenge ... does chasing a Goanna from the chook cage with a plastic rake qualify as training ? The girls were pretty vocal - not sure if they were still in panic mode if they were cheering me on! Either way - I got out in the great outdoors :) Share
2 Dogs …
Tuesday 3rd Feb Got moving reasonably early today (is 8 am reasonably early?) … took the dogs for a nice jaunt on the beach - surf breaking, seagulls squawking sunshine warming the nippy 12 degree morning … is it still summer ? What an amazing planet earth is 👍 ShareThank you to my Sponsors
