Today there was slightly more surf than yesterday. As you can see the swell might be, oh, as much as a whole foot in height. For some reason more than the usual number of paddlesurfers was in evidence. At any rate it was surfable, if you had a very long board. No bodyboarders at all that I could see. In fact, the beach was deserted, except for life guards waiting for something exciting to happen. After all it was the coldest day of the year so far -- 18 degrees and sunny. I even managed to catch the sun a bit.

I amused myself by taking seagull shots. Am quite pleased with this one.

Then I pottered over to Shelly Beach to see if there was any snorkelling. Shelly Beach was also almost deserted, except for the obligatory dive school. There is always a dive school going on at Shelly Beach as far as I can determine. Today's lesson was slightly disrupted by the presence of someone (illegally) fishing with a speargun. He made no attempt to even hide it. The divers were not pleased, after all, a diver looks pretty much like a very large fish (sharks frequently agree!), the sort one might want to use a speargun on. On the way back, spotted another cormorant, looking elegant.
