As if was early in the season, we found there was no-one available to man/bear the official beach lifeguard stations. They were fine structures as you can see.
We decided to offer our services and clambered up onto the platform to survey the beach. We looked very small against such a big and robust structure, but look hard and you'll see us. The view of the beach was a great one, and it was a beautiful sandy beach.
The only problem was that there were was no-one out swimming for us to watch and we found ourselves being mesmerised by the motion of the surf. Like a siren it summoned us, and we found the urge to leap into the surf irresistible. We didn't feel like we were derelicting our duty seeing as no-one else was swimming.
As we ran down the sand we did discover some casualties requiring rescue - we're the 2 dots in the middle of them.
These were the many jellyfish which had been washed up in an overnight storm. We were quite strategic though; we decided to leave rescue until after our swim and surf, so we wouldn't bump into them, and risk getting stung. This cunning plan worked a treat and we didn't swim into a single one.
Lots of love, George & Yorkie xxx
