Great Victorian Fishcount

Saturday morning I dived to count fish, part of the Great Victorian fishcount. It was a good day to be by the ocean: in the city it reached 37C and smoke from the bush-fires was oppressive, pushed in by a scorching north wind. Even at the beach we could hardly see the next peninsula across the bay. The dive was good (water temps up to 17C :-) but not many fish to count possibly because of the wind direction and the low, low tide. Bt we did see a GORGEOUS octopus.

Sunday temps soared up to 41C before dropping 10C in half an hour as a cold South Westerly blew though mid-afternoon. It came just early enough to get some Christmas baking done :)

Take care & have a good week. I am leaving for Vanuatu in the early hours of tomorrow.
