Well to cut a long swim short, he made it and what a great feat of endurance that was. Back on shore Brian tried in vain to enlist the help of volunteers to help find his missing teeth and sunglasses. Alas, nobody, by gum, could understand a word he was saying and even if they had it was doubtful that anyone would be adventurous enough to go out a kilometre and a half to duck dive in the forlorn hope of finding fang and lens – not even the skipper of Mary Ann.

Everyone on shore had a great laugh, well almost everyone. Brian, having learned a valuable lesson and at the insistence of wife Jean immediately sold the offending craft. If his adventure had been caught on camera it would have been badged as the 2022 remake of “The Old Man and the Sea” with Brian indentured (no pun intended) to replace Spencer Tracy.

But seriously for you fishers out there, put these coordinates into your boat’s dental plan (21ᴼ57”11” S and 114ᴼ09”11” E). You’ll have a great chance to pick up at least one snapper. And apparently the gummy sharks are schooling. Well done Brian and thanks for the entertainment. – Thanks to Brian Lucas for recording this historical event

A Huge Shout Out

I would like to say a big thank you to our Green Keepers, Alan and John McFayden, for all their efforts to keep our greens in such great shape for the winter months and no doubt the coming Pennant season. It is greatly appreciated by Sorrento members.

Your Editors agree. This winter the greens have been great even after rain. It’s important to remember that unlike most clubs, Sorrento’s greens are in use on most days of the week, all year round.
