Hey everyone hope you had a great weekend. It has been an exciting week with all the footy fever going around the mighty red and white swanies won the AFL grand final yesterday, it was one of the best games I have ever watched, We watched it at the Nash Pub in Paddington and we were lucky enough to get  good seats right in front of the big screen.

After a long week of work, my first day off  was a cracker of a day and decided to go for a stand up paddle with Kerrbox,Browny and Chris down at Bondi..

On A Quick Note

Welcome back everyone I hope you all had a great weekend. I hope you enjoy this Post.

After coming back from being a casual lifeguard during the winter months I am back on the beach full time for the next 9 months. It has been a very eventful week unfortunately not for the best on Sunday myself and Kerr box had responded to a serious spinal injury at the north end of the beach, he did the injury surfing, members of the public had carried him out of the water. As we were assessing him he had no feeling from chest down. Paramedics had arrived and we packaged him up and carried him to the ambulance. Later that evening we had heard that he fractured his (c7) in his neck and he was going to have an 8 hr operation to try and help the damaged spinal cord, I know it’s going to be a long recovery for him but he is a strong bloke and my thoughts and prayers are with him.

On a better note it has been a good start to the season, some funny moments already and it’s only been a couple of days in. The weather has been great and the beaches are starting to get busier. 

Myself and a few of the boys are supporting a fellow lifeguards campaign visit

Whippet and Yatesy have won the event 3 years in a row they are very hard to beat I don't know how but it still blows myself and all the boys away, Harries and his team mate Paul got last place it wasn't just the pink undies that had lost it for them Harries has a hard time concentrating in general not to mention the events we did on the day. In order the events were

FLYING HIGH

                            Flying  High

Welcome to my second post
 I hope everyone had a great weekend, If you were down at Bondi this weekend you would have not only have seen one kite you would have seen thousands it was the Festival Of The Winds, It was a very busy weekend not only for the average punter going to the beach, it was also very busy for the Lifeguards. On the Saturday, the kite area was all fenced off  and the professional amateur kite flyer's got there kite projects up for the big test run before the big day.

While all the kite flyer's were doing their thing, Harries and the boys were having a laugh about the kite festival.

Having a sing and laugh with harries about the big blue bear.

A prank on pack up Kerr Box gets Jesse

As I got to work on the Sunday morning Kerr box had informed me and the team that a man had  fallen off a cliff the night before up near Dover heights the police had been searching for him all night for the people that Don’t know Dover Heights,  it is approx 2km north from Bondi Beach. At around 9am we got a call to help with the search myself and harries launched the Jet ski and started our search for the missing man, as we were searching we got another call from Bondi central saying that there was another job for us. While all of this was happening the police located the missing man and retrieved him.

 The second job we got was a report that an outrigger with 5 people on board was sinking about 2km off north bondi point. As we were driving the Jet Ski to the incident the police rescue launch boat had turned up with us and was picking the patients up, they were all safe and the outrigger was fully submerged under the water. The police asked if we could help retrieve the submerged outrigger with the police boats rope. Harries turned straight around and said to me, "you're in mate!" I said to him "you're kidding me?" so I put on a brave face and acted like a hero in front of all the patients and the police and dived in even though I was absolutely Shitting myself.

As I swam up to the submerged outrigger I put the looped rope around the outrigger's bow I then climbed in to it and started to try and do lots of knots, the police were yelling out "do a bowline knot" I replied "if you don’t know knots tie lots" and so I did. I then gave the thumbs up and dived back in to the very deep and murky water, harries picked me up while my fingers were crossed, hoping that my lots of knots would hold up not surprisingly they held up myself and harries were shocked :). And in the distance I saw the big police boat and the outrigger cruising back to Sydney harbour, we then headed back to Bondi to a wall off kites and thousands of people and it was only 10.30am.

Through out the day the crowds and kites got bigger and bigger, there was close to 25,000 down at Bondi mid afternoon on the beach.

This week after 3 months break our summer seasonal, temp-part time and casual lifeguards are back on the sand not only at Bondi, but Bronte and Tamarama as well for the next 9months, we have a great team and it’s been pretty much the same team for 4 years. We have a new addition new trainee "Taco" this season, they are forecasting a very dry and hot summer no doubt we are going to have a busy season, bring it on.

I hope everyone has a great and safe week and stay tuned for the next post, 

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

until next time :)
