In relation to Waitangi Day - anniversary of the signing of an amicable agreement between the Maori and the British crown - and, consequently, a long weekend, stayed on the peninsula Koromandel. Another pack nerazobrannyh photos, which I will publish as much as possible. Here's the card, as the announcement. The inscription reads "swim between the flags." And where only parents watch ;) when their children are swimming in the opposite direction? :)

Swim

Explain the inscription. Day at almost all the popular beaches on duty rescue volunteers. They are controlled by a very narrow strip of water, marked with flags. Those swimming outside of the zone they propose to move in the controlled zone. But the people - people swimming and over the full width of the beach :)

UPD: altered photo. It seems to me, so better :)

    Andrew, but What's the catch? What, aside from flags have the opposite or bottom during rough, dangerous?

    • A. Drey says:

      Here two aspects: on the contrary there are many beaches within - rip. So strong that the delay in the ocean and the eye is not WILL hair. But there are areas where the over to the bank. There are usually boxes, and put. And during the day rescuers more than once to switch boxes. Another aspect - also rescue people. Monitor 200-300 m of the beach (even if ripov not) they have no resources. Therefore, they limit the area of their saved work. Although, of course, they zavedut its motorku to draw from the deep slack frogman outside, but it is not welcome :)

    as practice shows, swim between the flags is impossible, as there seledok in the bank, sorry. :)

    It is therefore easier to do - or Rock Pools, ocean or lagoon, where there are no strong waves and ripov.

    • A. Drey says:

      In New Zealand, or until the banks are too big, or (which is true) seledok little ;) Even in the most kupabelnye days at the most popular beaches in the Auckland area quite freely. :)

  3. fairyoz says:

    Hye. According to your statements, it is clearly not about Sydney. In any case, are not areas where a lot of married couples with детишками. :)

    • A. Drey says:

      So I, I f I say about Auckland :) and other beaches where I was. Here on the peninsula Koromandel, for example ;) I am in Sydney it was not never. So far ... :)

  4. Magellan says:

    Yes ... in the AC now just need to think about the water ... or on our TV again overstated the tragedy of the fires?

    • A. Drey says:

      I do not know, of course, that you have a TV broadcast, but the current fires in Australia - is really a tragedy. According to official figures 166 people died, thousands and thousands of people left homeless (when the number of deaths referred to about 100, the number of homes lost was more than 5000). And the most terrible - the fires were the initiation of human ugly creatures. The police came out on the trail of two of them. Prime Minister AC Rad "announced" they have been guilty of mass murder ... In sum, there is nothing good is not happening ...

    • A. Drey says:

      So you food for thought: What is worth more to fear - earthquakes in NZ, or a fire in the AC. :) There, by the way fires annually.

  5. Magellan says:

    The wife of my fears and that and this :) Perhaps that is why we have remained here ...

    • A. Drey says:

      Afraid of fire - do not walk in the woods :) From fires in Victoria have always suffered. Well, in general, we are on the probabilities are already arguing ... There are things that can be killed with a much more likely will not go, rather than from earthquakes in NZ, or a fire in AC :)

  6. Jsn says:

    And here is interesting - a large shark found in NZ?

    • A. Drey says:

      In NZ there is no sharks, they are not found on land :) And in the nearby waters of sharks are also sometimes (very rare), but attacks on people I do not recall, in contrast to Australia ...

  7. Magellan says:

    Yes where in NZ shark ... current kiwi and platypus ... that's all the animals :) A shark love poteplee ...

  8. Magellan says:

    I say, nothing to see : D

  9. Jsn says:

    These beautiful beaches, and no one marsupial sharks! ABYDNO YES ;)
    And кста - vodichka seem to be clear, there was no thought of a thread afloat. means any string fish-krabikov-meduzok posnimat?

    • A. Drey says:

      Namedni curious case occurred in Australia. "Seal" (or as they are called in the AC - the special maritime shorter) training in the Sydney Harbor and one of them was attacked by a shark. He was not thinking long gave her a couple of times in Pyatakov, she was scared and withdraw :) True man must hand sew and knit leg, but stayed alive. Spec say if the shark did not beat, then she would catch away.

      A transparent water. In some places, ships sail with a glass bottom. Not too far from Auckland. Yes, all do not meet :)

    As for the idea to rent "to craft" Living on the shores of the ocean??? Gidrokosyum, boxing for underwater shooting and overboard :) It's time to master the new world - underwater ... I'm here, by the way, going to deal with underwater hunting other words ... decided already ... left gear dokupit :)

  11. Jsn says:

  12. Magellan says:

    Sergey, and believe in our latitudes is that to remove the water. Yes and no need to dive to 20 meters. Schuchki, okushki, plotvichka etc. spinning here in the grass ...

  13. Jsn says:

    Yes, Valerie. But all the same ... I do not know how in the lower Volga River, and here at Oka and other water reservoirs zelo troubled as well as warm, so even beginning to bloom. So it really just literally shoot in the grass "(or caught trophy), but wants" otkrytochnogo "something :)
