Baywatch it aint

I ran to the beach today in drimizzle which slowly turned to rain and then back again. Enough to thoroughly soak me. Though it felt much warmer than yesterday with no wind so it was almost enjoyable in a “well I’m out here better enjoy it” kind of way.

I bumped into an old buddy I havent seen in a while. I recognised him by his fluffy legs

I think he may be a cut n shut – Two horses bolted together

Everything was drimizzly grey today

Over yonder lies my destination in the mist

Then I stumbled upon another barrel jellyfish. If you read this blog regularly then you may remember me finding one a few weeks back but was unable to move it.

This one was near the waters edge and I figured I would have a go at refloating him.  Neveradullbling asked if this could be done. I havent got a clue but despite the fact I was probably trying to save an already dead creature with no brain or nervous system I was gonna give it my best shot.  Which is why anyone passing by (thankfully no-one) could have witnessed me up to my knees in the freezing cold Bristol Channel dragging a big jellyfish behind me.

I managed the refloat and he was off and away drifting with the tide. As it was turning theres a good chance he will go out rather than beach again but to be honest I’m not sure it even matters. At this point my legs and feet were going numb so I squelched off along the beach to warm up not looking back for fear of seeing it coming ashore again. It can take its bloody chances now!

I did get a photo of the underside before we hit the surf though! You can see the fronds.

Sometimes I think I take the animal lover thing a bit too far.
