I am about to write about seagulls, but it will have to wait a few moments while I do some further stuff about Flak Too (the speedboat). I have been trying to figure out the name and I have come to the following conclusion. It has to do with rooster tails. These are the huge sprays of water out the back when at speed. Similar but more spectacular than me swimming in the staff versus students freestyle final way back in Broadwood. Both Flak Too and I created huge water displays out the back. Now here’s the rub, both Flak Too and I displaced a lot of water out the front at the same time. I’m sure this display by Flak Too led to its name. At speed, it looked as though it was surrounded by flak (anti-aircraft exploding munitions).
Now about the seagulls. One landed on my head. I am pleased J didn’t see him. She would have laughed until she fell over.
