The temperature surged up from 18.3 to 18.6 today. Also the sky was blue. There was less debris than yesterday and the day before. The sea weed patch was less as much of it seemed deposited on the sand. But there were a lot of flies on it. Watching out for the maggots in the next day or so in the sea weed.
Looking on the bright side, I think it is better to swim in brown cool water than brown warm water.
There were a number of lovely swimmers around.
Enjoying company of friends and saying how brown the water was

Cake day – passionfruit scrolls – yum Jocelyn, baker extraodinaire!
Some swimmers obliged for a photo and some were not committed to being in the blog
The fantastic Shelly and I think Howard
Enjoying the lovely brown water
Exiting through the seaweed
Visibility zero
The sign is the wrong one. They must have run out of pollution signs
I tried to keep my face dry but got splashed by a wave at the Bower
It is badge time!

Funny blog, thanks Elizabeth. It was golden brown, like swimming in a river, not unpleasant really.
