Note to self on box jellyfish
Oct. 23rd, 2020 11:27 amThere are more of them than there used to be in the seas where I would reasonable expect to be able to swim SOME DAY. Before going anywhere near a beach, therefore, I should order myself a nice, full-body swimsuit, the sort that sensible north-east Asian and Australian ladies wear to protect themselves from sunburn and melanomas, and also, it turns out, jellyfish.
These look quite nice:

Though I am not certain that it is necessary to go so far as this, if one makes sure to swim at dawn, preferably on a west-facing beach:

They are pretty, though. I like the cat facekini, and the Chinese opera one is awesome. I'm not sure how the shoulder flap bit would perform, but I suppose it would be OK if one were just paddling about, which is all that I would be doing in the sea anyway. Laps are for the pool.
