Friday 28th: Yet another Dry Blog …

Marine Parks Appeal

How lucky we are to have Cabbage Tree Bay in our lives!  Community feedback (below) about a Sydney Marine Park will help protect areas like CTB.

All you need to do is visit

www.communityremarks.com/Hawkesbury/

and click on ‘Make general comments’.  You only need to answer Question 5 saying you would like the Government to establish a Sydney Marine Park with sanctuary zones, and at Question 7 to enter your postcode. The others can be left blank or it’s up to you if you wish to answer them.

But please do it right now – closes today Friday, 28 August 2015.  Act now!

Lesbubbles suggested I type C*nd*m into Bolds blog search, and find a file photo of her collecting naughty plastic rubbish from Shelly Beach.  Bubbs is a known supporter of rubbish collection … proud of Manly’s Cabbage Tree Bay  🙂

Ear-ache

Can you believe some people actually put blu-tac (or gray-Tac) inside their heads?

Where’s Jane?

She pops by at 7.54 a.m. – just for a visit though.  “And then I’m off to Aldi.”

Aaaaah … that’s nice!

Pauline holds a record for Booty Camp attendance – She went once, and only once.  And never going back.

 

A-Team  Interviews

Vincent grew up in Westville, outside Durban – and his primary school had its own 25-metre pool.

 

“I remember training at 6 a.m. as a seven-year-old,” he says.  “By sixth grade I was sick of it, and didn’t train again until I was 18.”  Vincent likes to race along behind Dreamboat, hanging off the left foot.  “But if I touch his toe, he takes off!”

Olympic, World and Commonwealth Champion Chad le Clos (butterfly specialist) also went to this school … say no more.

Surf Club Safety

You’ll never get cut-up by a SLSC propellor.  My brother got mown down by a speedboat at Frankston beach when we were kids (snorkelling by the pier).  He went to hospital with massive slashes to the feet, but if he hadn’t duck-dived, he’d have been dead.  The boat driver was in shock …
