WARMING UP AT GREENS

Vic41 · Guru

Sounds rough Doug, does the lake water depth go out gradually or is there a sudden drop off at a certain point?

Getting warm now and warmer over the weekend with 40's expected all this week coming.
Might just have to do my late night dip tonight, well it hard work here you know. I finally decided to crawl out of the cot around 9.00am and thought, mmmm, what will I do today, I know, have breakfast and finish off what I started yesterday.
Nothing much at all than to enjoy all the free entertainment on the water. Now I only do this hard yacka to help out my mate's Dazren and Wombat.

Are you going late night skinny dipping?

Cloak · Guru

Yabbies in garlic and crushed walnuts.

Happywanderer · The Master

Yes Vic, the lake gradually deepens as you walk out. Can be out a fair distance and still only waist deep. Ideal for skinny dipping at midnight.

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Vic, gradually and you have to go out a bit to get it deep enough to swim. Very muddy under foot and a few rocks here and there so you have to tread carefully.

Triple333, I don't want to scare the local natives away so no skinny dipping from this big black duck but I will enjoy the water though around 10pm and I tell you that for free.

Cloak, never seen any yabbies here yet so that is a miss as well.

There was a dazelled wombat here a while back but he has gone now so no wombat stew either, bugga.

Gerty Dancer · Guru

Doug, put a shirt and your hat on, as well as your swimmers, and go in during the day!!! Several times! It will cool you off, and its safer during daylight hours to go swimming. Yeah I know its not surf and its not a fast-flowing river, but we want you to be safe and comfy.

Dougwe does NOT SKINNY DIP anymore The last time he did it someone took photo's ?/ of him And then called the Police cry cry cry And he had to go to COURT ??

However he was Lucky because when the Magistrate Looked at the Photographs of Dougwe in the Nude, He dismissed the case. '' LACK of EVIDENCE ?? wink aww biggrin

Hey Dazren, you are getting old, um, got old sorry. You have used that line before.

Gerty, thankyou, I now know who my true friends are however I do go in during the day with shirt and hat but like that moonlight dip as well. Not having a shower and just washes it's good to finish a hot day off with a cool dip. Oh, I spose under the shorts I'm in a condition to skinny dip.

Thanks Marg, sounds good, as long as nobody has night vision binoculars (skinny dipping). Any critters in there likely to nibble on your delicate bits ????

My biggest concern would be broken bottles that may have been thrown into the water, so I suppose for me a good idea to wear some sort of footwear just in case.

Doug, thanks for your feedback too.

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Rocky, I am fully aware of that forecast I have been keeping in contact with the weather gods. Thanks for reminding me though, I feel hot already. I am more than happy to stay on my water font site.

Rowdy Rabbit arrived late arvo and chickened out and went up under the trees. Us Avaners down here on the waterfront sites are tuff happy campers.

Gerty, the day dips will be plenty I would say from now until I leave.

Vic, nothing in the water to nibble any "Bits", that I know of anyway. I ware runners so safe in that area too. Never seen or heard of broken glass in the water or along the sand, people here are good really, the press get it all wrong as far as I'm concerned. The big crowd here today were ALL very well behaved and had great fun.

Dazren, no conviction, no proof mate.

Gee there was a line up of boats waiting to come in just on dark tonight, took about 1 hour to round them up, very entertaining. I had the late night dip, settled in the Avan and just finished watching another episode of Sons Of Anarchy on the Laptop so all good at Greens.

Dazren mate, This is real hard yacka out here I really think you should just keep working.

I thought someone said there were fish in the lake ? confuse

Kiwi-as · Guru

Doug, the water level looks as tho it has dropped a fair bit since we were there.

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Vic, all good, a few fish but none nibble us, they don't even nibble bait on hooks most of the time.

Brandt, water edge probable about 3 foot further away but much much better than late 2012 and early 2013.

Starting to get busy here again. Entertainment time.

_wombat_ · Master (of Mischief)

dazren, you have as much chance of Dougwe going skinny dipping as you have of seeing his new av that he is scared to use. biggrin biggrin

ken thomas · Guru

Well keep your bathers on, if they see something moving in the water that looks like a witchetty grub they might be tempted! wink

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Ken, will be gone by 20th so looks like I'll miss you and Lynn this trip.

Other places to be and people to see.

jules47 · The Happy Helper

Dougwe - do be careful in the water - a pack of revellers on NYE were throwing their empties in the water, directly down from where we were camped! Idiots!!!

03_troopy · Guru

I heard there was no worries from bitey's in the lake... only tiddlers were spotted there.

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Worth risking a nibble on the tiddle bits by tiddlers in the heat of the day, 03.

Thank goodness for a beautiful fresh water lake when the temp's in the 40's. 4 dips yesterday and sit around with wet T-shirt after, just nice.

The weather gods here at Greens must be different to the ones in South West Gippsland as those buggers only give us cold Arctic winds and rain and I tell you that for free.

_wombat_ · Master (of Mischief)

tiddle bits, does that mean what I think it means? biggrin

are you admitting it's small? biggrin

what a sight Dougwe in a wet tee shirt. biggrin

If you are getting cold artic winds make sure you look after your Nulla nymphs. biggrin
