57 channels and nothing on

Here is a blog post for no other reason that as the internet expands and more people contribute to it, you get about 50 people Tweeting the same thing, 150 people Facebook sharing the same thing, millions of news sites pointing to the same story, live-bloggers dissecting an event as it happens and then running a post-mortem and marketing specialists offering to sell you ways to maximise all of the above, but there doesn’t seem to be much of anything new. That could be (most likely is) an exaggeration but if you’d like to take a break from the noise 0f the information superhighway (haha, remember when it was called that?) then here are some photos from under and around the sea taken last week. In them are my friends Alex, Rou, Mary and me having a whale of a time in the sea around Watergate Bay.

If a wave breaks and there is no one to ride it, is it still surf?

Bass eye view

No one minds a drop in when you're body surfing. In fact it's better with two.

If a wave breaks and you're there to hear it, it's pretty noisy

Like two mirrors facing each other, I'm shooting as Rou shoots us. Where does it end?

You need to swim to get here, or have a very good head for heights.

We took the route down through the gulley in the foreground

Mary enjoys the hydrotherapy of the natural swirl pool

That's Alex on the left, slipping down the green stuff and into the sea.

Going underwater once more before we go home
