The blue ones that I've seen have been on the large size. I'm 6 foot 5 inches, and the first one I saw about 6 years ago was floating alongside me, and was longer than me.
The one I saw on this occassion was washed up on Ao Manao beach and was about 2 feet in diameter.

Don't worry, I did. About 3 hours later when my son persuaded me to go in to the water with him (I hadn't told anybody of my swimming partner at that stage), I found myself running from a paper bag soon after re-entering the water.
You should have saved that one for the photo competition. I'm at this moment studying it and looking for lottery numbers in the skin pattern. I guess you could wear it as an amulet also.
By the by, when is the next photo competition kicking off, anyone know? Pete
