Late in February we took an afternoon boat ride down to the broadnose sevengill cowsharks near Miller’s Point. I had students, so Mark skippered for us. The inimitable Kate had arrived from the UK a few weeks ago and wasted no time making trouble!

We were fortunate to see some dolphins in the distance on our way back from the dive.

It was late afternoon by the time I took the boat home. On the way past the wreck of the Clan Stuart I had to stop and take a photograph as the sun was setting.

If you’re wondering why every photo looks as though there’s a cloud of tiny black bats in the background, it’s because the sensor on my camera was BADLY in need of a clean. Thank you Orms for sorting it out!
