Interesting

Here in Adelaide we have our own beach mystery - though this one was found lying on the beach - look up 'Somerton Man' - espionage , intrigue

I digress -  I note they do mention the tidal influences - I wonder if they have contacted an expert in Tidal Movement for the areas

Two tone blue and white - sounds like a polo top - someone strolling on a merchant ship?
The Somerton Man is a fascinating story and one I've read a lot about over the years.

"Two tone blue and white - sounds like a polo top"

And wool underwear.  Who wears wool underwear except someone who has to work out in the cold?
