Blue Ocean Beach in Legian / Seminyak Bali
Saturday afternoon I sat at one of the beach stalls on Blue Ocean Beach and chatted with the drink seller. This section of beach is fairly busy and people congregate here in the late afternoon. A small bintang will cost you 10,000rp on the beach and they vendor provided me with a styrofoam cup holder to preserve the coldness.
While sitting on the beach I watched a slim European lady wearing only the bottom half of a thong bikini wander to the waters edge and step slowly into the surf. I remember thinking to myself 'Don't drown,' as the area was marked with a red flag and the waves were big. Getting back to my conversation a few minutes passed and a guy next to me said abruptly "Someone's drowning." Many people stood up and I saw 2 swimmers, the bikini lady and her friend struggling, a couple of hundred meters away. All credit to the Balinese locals, I saw 3 guys racing down the beach with surfboards to rescue them. I am sure those ladies were very grateful. Even on a busy beach you can get into trouble swimming. Look out for red flags and ask the locals if it's safe to swim. Tell someone close by you are going for a swim also.

You are right, Kevin. The bigger the shit, the higher it floats.
Tony reminds me of manatees, here in South Florida. They are mammalian aquatic grassers and they eat enormous amount of grass so their stomachs get so bloated with shit. The only difference between Tony and them (manatees) is that Tony’s brain has also turned to shit. Hee..heee.heee..
Jeeeeeez Tony was it something I said. What ? you like to give but you cannot take. Dont be a baby if you want to play with the sharks you need to learn how to swim first. I thought you might be a worthy opponent and a good Blogger dont go chicken on me now and prove me right so soon.You are starting to make Tim look like an expert and thats SCARY
The vendor is called Agus, the other one is Gede. I’ve spend many hours there. surfing and beachtennis, drinking bintang and talking to the ladies and the waitresses in blue ocean restaurant…
