The Islands by Di Morrissey

When you pick up a Di Morrissey book you are not expecting high literature, or even medium-high.

You are expecting a rollocking saga with beautiful women and unreachable men set in an exotic location with a nod to the local culture.

In this novel that is exactly what you get.  Young Catherine, off on a gap year – or what passes for a gap year back in the 70s, meets and marries a dashing US naval officer and ends up in the married quarters in Hawaii.

Stifled by the other navy wives and their strict, conservative lives, Catherine seeks freedom by meeting the locals and learning a new skill – photography. 

It doesn’t take long before she finds herself tempted by an enigmatic surfer.

This is the type of book you take with you on holidays – preferably in Hawaii.  You sit with it at the pool and while away a couple of hours while sipping on your fruit cocktail and gazing over your spray tan to the other beautiful people lounging in the sun.

You are wearing big sunglasses and probably a floppy straw sunhat.

It’s not challenging but it is a pleasant enough way to spend some time.  

It’s a bit like watching the Bold and the Beautiful I imagine.

Swimming for the blog

The things I do for this blog.  The extremes I will go to.

Take the other night.  Hugamuga suggested we have a family swim down the beach.

Never mind that the news had been full of shark sightings and that someone had actually been taken.

Never mind that sea breeze was in big time and sea was choppy and rough.

Never mind that it was after seven o’clock and all the lifeguards had gone home.

Never mind that we have a perfectly good, and recently cleaned pool in our backyard.

We went to the beach.

Once in, I was determined not to swim above my depth.  Staying in the shallows getting wet was enough.

Groover had other ideas:

“Hey want to swim around the pylon with me?”

“No way!  Swim in shark infested waters, when the visibility is zero and no lifeguards… you must be joking!!”

“You could blog about it…”

“Hmmm.  Okay then.”

Brave or tragic?

And I can report that the pylon looks even worse from the seaward side.
