Pylon wars

1 Comment

It’s the first day of my holidays and to make it feel like a holiday and not just a weekend, instead of a walk by the beach I insisted we swim around the Cottesloe pylon.

I needed to feel sand between my toes and have the sharp bite* of the Indian Ocean wake me up.

But a shock was in store…

Those hooligans from North Cottesloe surf lifesaving club had been up to mischief!

You might remember not that long ago I commented on the fact that the pylon had finally been repaired.

Here it is in all it’s glory back in October:

I wonder how long it will take them to paint the blue and white of North Cottesloe over.

Meantime, we swam around the pylon. It was low tide and wasn’t quite the workout I had expected.

I can tell you that both the repair job and the paint job are not so flash from the other side.

An expensive perch for one seagull

The Cottesloe Pylon has been fixed, just in time for summer.

Not sure what the final cost was but it was quoted at $170 000…

I like the way the colours reflect those of Cottesloe Surf Lifesaving Club… or maybe they reflect the paint on the pylon?

I heard talkback callers saying they were going to jump off the pylon no matter what the authorities say.  I guess the authorities have to say you can’t but I kind of wished they had put a ladder the side and a little jumping platform.

Bloody lawyers put paid to that no doubt.

It was a much cooler weekend this weekend…

Here’s the difference at the same time last Saturday:

Blogging

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.

Floating in the Indian Ocean

Cottesloe Sunset

I’m floating in the Indian Ocean. The water is like a mill pond. My head is back, my limbs crucifixed. I can feel the water lap against my ears and in the distance, above the water, children playing, a car roaring past, the faint duuf duuf of the Cottesloe Hotel.

The water supports my body. A posturpedic mattress. The sun, gentle as it begins its downward journey one hour earlier.

I am at peace.

And yet there is the faint niggle of disquiet. How long will my family let me lie.

It is recommended that viagra for women price the medicine should be kept in a room temperature. It eliminates the worn out cells from best viagra price your body. Our of all the on line cialis http://www.glacialridgebyway.com/mid-5576 ED medicines, it becomes really tough to choose the best one. Suddenly my feet are grabbed. Sharp little claws catch at my calves, dragging them down into the water, no longer supporting my weight.

“Will you swim with us around the pylon? I don’t want swim on my own.”

“Oh alright then.”

How could I refuse? This is my perfect swimming environment. Still and quiet. No waves.

Bliss.
