Before and After Party

Before Party. Beachfront Epic. The beach smells terrible. The sand is not white, but grey. But maybe authorities will tell us it was always like that…?

April 30, 2017, Beachfront Epic.

April 30, Beachfront Epic

The day after. White Beach?

May 1, 2017, Beachfront Epic, after party. But never mind. What the staff will not clean up, the ocean will do, as it always does. Out of sight, out of mind!! But there is still this foul scent in the air.

Two Beaches – One Day

Bolabog Beach and White Beach are opposite of each other. At the narrowest point these beaches are not even 500 meters apart. Bolabog facing toward east, White Beach facing toward west. However, it seems, as if both beaches were located on two different islands.

Impressions from today, April 26, 2017

Bolagob Beach

It’s very hot today (35 °C). Even if a gentle breeze today offers a nice relief at Bolabog Beach, an umbrella is not a bad idea!

The light breeze from east is still enough to keep a kite in the air.

Aissatou Beach Resort (Habagat Kiteboarding) has the best location at Bolabog. They even have a nice garden inside where you can relax.

White Beach (today)

Because the White Beach lies lee side, there is hardly to feel any wind today. The south part of the beach is quiet free from algeas now. A lot of algeas are still in the middle part just at the height of the Regency Resort. But here at the south it is almost a perfect beach day, and look at these colors!

What a background for a selfie!

Enjoy a dive…

Enjoy scrubbing your skin with the fine sands of White Beach (fine and white at least partially!!)

 

MAD SNAIL DISEASE

What is wrong with this snails?

Why do they come ashore,

where they decease dreadful,

dried out by the merciless sun

by the thousands?

Snails stranded

Snail

We don’t want to blame the algeas, do we? Although it is a fact that this phenomenon occures with the algeabloom on its peak. It is also known, that these kind of algeas divest oxygen from the water. So, is it maybe the lack of oxygen that drives these animals out of their habitat.

Raceday One!

On the way to the starting point.

Dragenboat this Weekend

All boats lined up for the dragenboat event this weekend.

The boats for the competition – not decorated yet.

Hoist Your Flags

Does the size of a flag say something about the size of the country it represents? I almost believe it is so. The bigger the country the bigger the flag. That makes absolutely sense to me!

Here is the proof : Switzerland is at least three times as big as China and twenty times as big as Germany.

‘Giant Switzerland’

The bigger the flag, the bigger the country. That’s true. Or is it not true for the size of the country but for the Ego?

After all – does size really matter?

Yes, yes, yes – it does!!!

Easter Saturday 2017, 4.30 pm, Station 3

Right, the boats on the beach! How nice. No obstacle is blocking the way if you were out for a beach stroll. If you wanted to jogg the whole strech of the White Beach, especially during the 2 hours before sunset – Easter saturday was the day. A day for true beach lovers. Where were the felt a hundred thousand paraws lined up at Station 1 and from Paradise Garden Resort to Station 3? It was the Day-Off of all the water-sport-businesses.
