Heads up – there is a dead, quite large seal half way between Manly point and half way beach. Authorities have been notified and hopefully it will be picked up tonight and taken away. The smell is awful! Poor thing. My friend reckons it is the one that has been waving to him when he is on the ferry. Very sad ….

No, no 50, but nose band has the word “Yasuda” on it. Will pass them on to Ian.
