Dear all,

Long story short: there is a lot of silt in the Swan River water at the moment that has managed to hide many of the usually, easy to see rocks @ Point Walter. I happened to land on my right foot, quite heavily, on one of these hidden nasties.

I thought at worst, i'd bruised a bone, maybe some muscular damage...the small graze that I got didn't look so bad...BUT within 2 days I was on crutches & the doctor spent an hour y'day digging sand, rock & other assorted shizel out of my foot. An entirely unpleasant experience i can assure you. The infection was quite severe and hugely uncomfortable.

My message comes in 3 parts:
1) take a very good look at where the rocks are & stay the **** away from them;
2) if you get a cut foot in the Swan River, get it attended to - don't ignore it. If i'd paid more attention, maybe I wouldn't have had to watch the puss come out of my foot y'day...the doctor indicated it was as bad as any coral cut he's seen.
3) booties...i'm out to buy some this w/end...any suggestions as to a make good for kiting???

Yours for a limp free future.

Juddy
