20/10/2024

It was a little uncomfortable at the fishing boats this morning which gave scant shelter in a blustery SSW wind blowing force 6+. When the Leach's Petrel flew by fairly close to the shore the dis comfort was soon forgotten until around 10.15 when the rain started and visibility closed right in.
