We visited Narrow Neck Beach over at Devonport on Friday. It was so beautiful and the water looked very tempting. We haven't swum in the sea for about 17 years - I always used to love it, somehow we got out of the habit.
Today we went armed with togs, lunch and sunblock. The water was lovely - the togs a little tight - but there were plenty of others our age and shape taking a dip. (Sorry no photo - Doug appeared to have used wide-screen format by mistake. I'm sure I don't look like that!)
Both days there were children learning water skills.
A group of older children launched 470 class yachts and sailed off in pairs - they seemed to be experts. Later we saw them doing a spinnaker run out in the distance.
Some played cricket on the sand while others received instruction in sailing optimists, and kayaking. Note the tethered opti - a bit like having trainer wheels.
Farther out to sea we could see two huge Louis Vuitton boats match racing. (The LV Trophy Series officially begins tomorrow.)
