This morning the M/V Curlew arrived again off the beach at Saltwater Park with a team training in Cold Water Survival Training.

This time the trainees spent more time in the water, shot off emergency rescue flares, and were hoisted out of the water with the help of the mast on a small boat.

I was amused to watch the number of sea birds flying over the operation.

While the survivors were in the water in their cold water survival suits they remained closely linked together and often looked like a row of ducks themselves.

This clearly refutes the City's claim at the City Council business meeting of January 5 that "there is no public access to the beach other than across the [pedestrian] bridge."
My article clearly states that the activity / training was "off the beach at Saltwater Park". I never said "I was on the beach."
In fact I was on the bluff for this article as well as the previous one on the same subject.
