Gorgeous swim this morning ! Lovely conditions with great company; both the human and marine life kinds 🙂
Ok, so how long will it take to get our first B&B on tour photo in our new B&B swimmers ???? Of course that is also known as outrageous / brave B&B on tour local shots… 🙂
Great to see Mark from the Australian Museum’s comment on our blog last night, thank you Mark. Hope to hear more from you and maybe even see you for a swim sometime… Gaetan will be thrilled, as he should be that his photo now features in the Australian Museum records. What a privilege ! How lovely, I feel really proud even if only by association 🙂
Hope you’ve seen the new MARA review released today, looks great for us!

Hi Ben
I’ve managed to scan a copy of the document and include it in the blog.

I’ve had a lot of dealings with MARA as a Coastal Ambassador, they’re very switched on with regards to the needs of the marine life. They have noticed an increase in fish population directly proportional to the recent increase in swimmers, so this decision is a win for all.

Mara is the greatest policy maker for aquatic management ever!

This Mara lot are certainly in touch with the saftey of swimmers and maintenance of the marine environment. Will be following these rules from this DATE on!!

Anna’s initial response to the Mara Public Notice!…..
Anna Alvsdotter commented on your photo.

“Wow. Nice for us swimmers, but worried about lack of consultation with all concerned, eg rowers and IRB (and swimmers). This is the first I hear about it. Not happy if this creates more aggro and alienation within the community. Also, ‘craft’ is not specified, so does it include boards? The map shows boats and crafts exciting through the usual flag area…. What do you think?”

Thanks for the perfect trick, Stephen, I laughed the whole day after discovering I had swallowed your April fool’s hook, line and sinker.
You guys can call me April now if you wish.
Btw, I asked Ching the lifeguard today if he’d been in touch with MARA yet. He laughed and said Piss Off… 🙂
