Mate, I think you're bored, here's a story for ya. I'm riding down Mullaloo drive on my pushie, to catch up with the boys at Pinnas for an after kite sess beer, (their sess ) PC Plod is there on that blind rise just before the big roundabout near MBH with a hair dryer. He had just pulled over a bogan for excess speed in a Commodore, who just happened to be suckin on a can of Jim Beam at the time.

I hear the copper tell this idiot to empty out the can. So what does he do !?, in an amazing act of defiance, he skulls it !! True story , have you ever witnessed such stupidity ? Gawd, I need wind, like real bad, think you do too , ay ?

Saw a big Leatherback Turtle off Scarbs one day. Didn't think they came this far South, but there you go...

Bored at work

The only thing you may bump into in Port Phillip Bay this summer is a large Turd.....
The bay is filthy and a ****in discrace. When Melb gets havy rains the sewers cannot cope and Melbourne Water release RAW sewerage into the bay.....heaps of it.

The EPA do nothing......
beaches are regularly noted as unsafe for swimming with bacteria levels 1000's of times above what is acceptable and this then lasts for weeks ..... but the EPA are more concered about the pimple faced teenage in his WRX with the Exhaust or stereo that is a few db above the limit. ( yes still a parasite but lets get some perspective )

You guys are lucky bumping into sunfish and turtles...... its all tampons and turds over here.

Someone in the windsurf forum hit a sunfish, I thought they were tropical as well.

Sunfish (mola mola) actually stay with the cold currents. Been diving with them in Indo. Amazing.

Luxury




When I was a kid it was the Caingorms & the hostel (at least if you got back before the doors locked - Gawd the van was cold!!)

when you are offshore, anything strange or of interest.

Hmm.

Found hats, flippers and a lot of tennis balls (which make good ammunition to throw at other kiters)

Seen what appeared to be a palette of who-knows what floating just under the water in Botany Bay.

Catching waves with dolphins riding the very same waves is pretty special, and thankfully getting more frequent.

I once had flying fish jumping around me, that was pretty neat, but only after I worked out wtf they were and I cleaned myself up

Sailing a Taser in Darwin a harbour race we saw what looked like a big piece of rope on the surface maybe 20m ahead... as we got closer it popped its head above the surface and we realized it was a huge sea snake, maybe 3m long? It snaked straight past the front of the boat totally unfazed without changing its course one bit

Trying to make ground upwind, far off the beach in a gusty sou easter, some flying fish jumped and flew in front of me, I became transfixed on them, and.. dumped the kite, it relaunched, but.. then inverted. Long story short, picked up by clubbies in IRB, they were great (I was in big s#!t if they hadn't shown up.)

When I lived in Darwin we saw them all the time, thats why I thought they were a tropical fish.

... sort of on subject ...

last year, Australia Day, we were haveing a big day, and on my 6th beer or so and inbetween kite sessions the cops turned up and said they were looking for a sky diver who's shoot didn't open!! They were jumping and landing on a beach a few km's downwind of us. He was reported to have hit the water, approx 2 or 3 km's roughly downwind of our launch and 1km off the beach they were aiming for. The local surfclub were launching the boats etc and the cop asked if any of us had seen the guy. None of us did so I jump into action and figured I'd head out and see if I can find him, didn't know what I was going to do but still, maybe help!

As it turned out, his shoot did fail but the back up was used quickly and he landed on the beach a little upwind of his landing point and was wondering what all the fuss was about. He watched the surfclub guys running around getting boats into the water, while I was out to sea mowing the lawn looking for what I thought could have been a body!!

Lucky we can laught about it now, I really wasn't sure what to expect or what I could actually do if he was actually in the water!!

cheers,

Robbie

A dead and extremely bloated cow at Strickland Bay, Rottnest.

I have a photo at home somewhere.

I wouldn't even mind the odd tampon or turd instead of the masses of jellyfish at Bris beaches at the moment - horrible just horrible little basturds!!!!!

saw a cabrinha in a tree ,,,,,,,,
