The Lure of Water
Is it a mermaid? Well, of sorts, yes. It is that rarely sighted Bob-in-his-pants. I had one of those "must get into that crystal blue water" moments at Totaranui on the Abel Tasman coast. Fortunately the beach was reasonably quiet so my strip down to undies went largely un-noticed. What I didn't consider was how long it would take my freshy shrunken merino wool pants to dry. Soggy crotch ahoy.
