Below 'Brindabella', South Australia

Following on from the last video, over the Christmas period of 2022, a unique opportunity presented itself that I couldn't resist. The owners of 'Brindabella' announced a photo and/or video competition whilst the boat was operating from an anchorage at Port Noarlunga, South Australia. The prize? Tickets for two people on a twilight cruise. Having enjoyed my last trip on the boat so much I thought I would give it a go. I think what was expected was that everyone would get out their drones and take footage from the air, however I thought I would do something different (not least because my drone is on the bottom of the Port River after a bit of an accident) and take some footage from below the famous maxi-yacht!

So, during the evening of Boxing Day 2022, I swam out to 'Brindabella' and videoed it. This was not without some challenges because it involved swimming over 1 kilometer with my freediving kit on (including an 18 pound weight belt) whilst there was a pretty strong current and in air temperatures approaching 40 degrees centigrade! The visibility wasn't great but with a bit of work I put this video together. Now to wait and see whether it's good enough for the prize!!! If not, I enjoyed my little adventure and I hope you enjoy this video.

For all the camping I've done over the years, I've never actually owned or even slept in a swag! Given I was in the market for a lightweight tent I thought I might try a swag instead and see how I found it. For the first test I did an overnight camp in my front yard in the middle of our winter. This is how it went.
