Thanks to all of our listeners that came down to the St Kilda Sea Baths to take part in the gigantic 2 hour outside broadcast. With prizewinners galore, and an initial water temperature higher than the air temperature, a good time as had by all. |

| Tim Allen and Dave Speller talked about the beginning of Radio Marinara all those years ago. The fishheads were initially a summer fill, and the was concern from the station that there wouldn't be enough material for a second show - let alone 200 !! |  |

Brett emerged from the water (with two Northern Pacific Seastars he had found while sitting on the bottom). Brett talked about the diving that was to be had this far up the bay - along with his usual commentary on the temperature, visibility and the meaning of life. |

| Brian talked about the Baths, what they have to offer and what the whole philosophy of the new centre is about. |  |

Live on the Beachfront - three subscribers battled it out for the quiz prizes. Andrew finally won (actually he beat the other contestants hands down !!). Pick of the questions - how many elephants would it take to make the same weight as a blue whale ? (you had to tune in for the answer) Did you know that a trout would fit inside the veins of a blue whale, and that their heart is the size of a small car !! Also did you
know that the actor who played "Happy" on McHale's Navy
went on to Captain the Love Boat? And for a RRR frisbee, a listener
down there knew that it was Gavin McLeod! |

Dick and Dave talked about what it is to live in St Kilda, the meaning of the beach and that changes that had happened over time. The idea of a St Kilda Mermaid Parade - like the one Dick Zigun is organises at Coney Island in New York. Lobby the Council now !!! |
