We awoke quite early today (9am).

Had a bit of breaky & I decided on a surf down the beach at Green Point.
Not much of a surf running but still good to be out in the water & having a paddle.

Jayne came along for a walk down the beach, left me at the break & continued her walk down the beach for a bit. Just another warm sunny day on the Tassie West Coast with of course some wind (it is Tassie after all).

Went for a drive after lunch to check out some other more exposed parts of the coast. West Point & Bluff Point Lighthouse. Very rugged coastline. Much more wind.

We could hardly get out of the car the wind was blowing so hard.

Back at our mostly wind protected camp in plenty of time to start thinking about what to have for dinner. Jayne was wanting a noice piece of fish, so the hunter & gathererer was dispatched once more.

After about an hour & a bit of splashing about in the rubber suit, mask, snorkel, fins & weight belt, the goods were finally produced.

The catch of the day
