Interesting article about Mick Dooley in the Pitwater something or other that Hodady had a link to. Definitely an original.

So as Australia Day marks the semi official end of the Silly Season.....although there's Chinese New Year...and Easters not that far way....the big issues now have to be filed next to increasing work related issues.

The big issues like which pair of boardies are driest?
How many days has this t shirt been worn to the beach for?
Can I handle any more sun this arvo or should I wait till later?
Wash hair?....nah.
Shave?........only if it's becoming too hard to apply sunscreen through it and it's not going to full beard.
I think I've copped more than enough sun this Summer.

You aren’t the room Yuke You are just a wonky cafe table with a missing rubber pad on the end of one leg.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

How true. The extra day was a bit odd. Like obviously Only some people weren't working on both days. Had an okay muck around this morning. Overcast, a bit choppy. People were actually going "Where is everyone?"
Chucked the board in this arvo when we went down. Should have just had a swim.

Watched the second of Nicks Surf Safety Videos. All good. Waiting for his tips on moisturiser and sunscreen.

I reckon Nick has got a naturally high pitched voice and he has been working on lowering it for the past 35 years.

Talking about Mr Carroll rather than you, Loof. I imagine you as more a Benny Hill, Syd James cross.

Bloody awesome NC. I'd never have known that surfboard move (with a non conscious person).

Might need to practise it a few times

I dislike looking at long range charts, it's like being a little kid before Christmas hoping you'll get what you asked for

Here's a LR chart for late February
Image

This low is a redeveloped tropical cyclone that is progged to begin way the hell out near the Cook Islands, intensify as it moves south of Fiji, and carry all the way to where it is on this map. It aims a broad band of ESE and ENE winds at the whole Australian east coast for a period of several days. If this happens, everywhere will be hammered by one of the best easterly swells of the century along with light to mod-fresh SW/SE winds.

yeah do. it's worth it.

yeah, t'was a good presentation.
particulary the fact size and strength aren't essential - good use of young'ns to demonstrate this.
And the most important advice, applicable to so many emergency situations, stay calm, don't rush into things. This should be the fist response in any critical situation.

And, using a victims own mass (leverage) to lift or move them - utilising the board in a surf zone as shown, or a couple of lengths of rope each end (upper and lower body) as leverage into a boat, is a handy skill.
