Backwater Beach

Good place if you’re careful. Came here today with Tim and Pope Nafa for a Red Rooster lunch. We kept it low-key. Double Happiness, Rooster Rolls. Normal stuff. Still, you can never really relax in public places like this. Too many sightlines. Too many people pretending not to look. We talked about the "Father Gray Bridge Building Guide", but only in general terms. You never know who’s listening. I noticed a kayak hanging around near the bushes for longer than made sense. Looked deliberate. At first I thought it was Alister keeping tabs on us, wouldn’t be the first time, but it turned out to be an ibis. That doesn’t mean much, though. Councils use animals all the time. Everyone knows that. I let it have a sip from my two-litre Pepsi just in case. Better to stay on good terms than find out later you were reported. The food was solid. No complaints there. Five stars for that alone. There was also a jet ski going past. For a second I thought it might’ve been Britney Spears in a bikini, which sounds ridiculous, but things like that happen more often than people admit. Then again, last time my Double Happiness wasn’t exactly clean, so I’m aware of the variables. I don’t jump to conclusions. I just keep track of possibilities. Overall, I’d come back. I plan to return with Father Gray himself next time so we can measure the bridge properly. I like to know exactly what I’m dealing with before anyone else decides to take an interest.

Great place!

Don't come here thinking it as an usual beach. It's not. There is no access

This is not a place U can access unless by boat. Don't drive there. Quito Avenue residents will think you are crazy
