Lockdown Day 712-8 March 2022
They were far for the natural eye, but I got good visuals with binoculars, with which I also saw a dolphin pod feeding on a school of fish near the harbour wall.
Seeing the abundance of sea life gave me hope for marine conservation, albeit in the wake of the plastic pandemic. Recently, a young lady by the name of Sarah Ferguson, started an epic swim from Durban to Cape Town after earning a Guinness world record in 2019 by swimming around Easter Island in record time.
All this to raise awareness for plastic pollution in the coastal ecosystem. Follow her on Instagram by searching breatheocean1. For those not on social media, here is the link for the SA People article in which the link to instagram can also be clicked on:
She has completed 12 days of swimming and a record 45km today in the Agulhas current! So far she has seen many "chips" packets 😒.
She has also seen lots of marine life and was also treated to a dolphin pod's playful visit.
So tonight I offer up a prayer for Sarah's amazing quest and for her success already apparent. For sustenance to complete this 1500km challenge she gave herself a year to finish.
And for God to carry her through it all.
