It was like swimming in ice-cream this morning, well there were certainly some ice-cream headaches recorded at the point.
Apart from the ice blocks the conditions are stunning right now with so many Port Jackson Sharks of all various shades.

“Under the sea, the reproduction chain is extremely varied and complicated. How are marine animals able to reproduce in such vast, dark oceans where meeting a partner seems impossible? How, in this moving, liquid element, do they manage to overcome the challenge of perpetuating the species? Over millions of years of evolution, marine animals have used the physical properties of the water, each in their own way, and succeeded in developing original mating strategies for passing on their genes”

OMG, how cold was it, I almost cried. Great visibility made it all worthwhile.
Nice photo of the awards night, congratulations on being nominated; we love our aquatic reserve.
Now that I’ve finished with Rock Eisteddfod sewing and before I put my machine away, if anyone doesn’t have access to a sewing machine, needle & thread or fishing line (you know who you are), I’ll sew your badge on your jacket. Just bring a safety pin and slip of paper with name and phone no. on it. Will sew them this week, I usually swim Fri, Sat and Sun.
