We little folk feel so small as we look out there to the Government and Big Corporate power decision makers that can destroy our cherished marine world.  Yet the ferry (the big white boat) is a Lover of the Bay. Anyone who has travelled on it knows how the Captain tells the travellers when the dolphins are playing in the ferry’s wake. The trip across the bay from Sorrento to Queenscliff is a treat!

This Bay is a haven – both for the sea life that thrive in it and for us humans. We saw thousands of people swimming, yachting and relishing the cool sea during this Christmas-New year holiday season. The fireworks and lights of towns, cities and villages along the shores on New Year’s Eve provided a stunning display. The beaches and sea breezes gave sanctuary to hot and tired bodies.

This is precisely why we shall shine our lights in gratitude on the shores and water on 8th January. 

 Our little lights, our small and larger groups, our passion and concern – these will show our honouring. The human spirit shines brightly. We know that appreciating and respecting the life within our Bay is our human responsibility.  

We have new locations being posted daily -see Get Involved Page.

The media is beginning to suppport us. Bay Vigil and Blue Wedges are on 3AW just after the 11.00 news Thursday morning.

We have one week to go to call forth carriers of Light. Get everyone you know to be part of this peaceful Vigil of Light. Line the shores with lights. Be there and make a difference.

Faith.

And a very Happy New Year to ye all!
