What a lovely, relaxing Saturday.  Woke up at 05.00 - ugh!  Read for a while and then had a little sleep and woke up again at 08.55!!  Must have needed it.

Spoke to my neighbour who had just been surfing so decided that today was the day to go snorkelling. Beautiful sunny day and temperatures up to 23 degrees C, so I suited up in the Gazman wetsuit, hood, gloves, boots, facemask, snorkel and knife on leg.....looked rather mean and almost as if I knew what I was doing!  Wrapped the key to the caravan and my glasses in a plastic container and placed in a bag and strapped that to my leg as well.  Armed with fins that looked as long as my leg, I toddled off to the beach.  A bum crawl into the ocean was required as there is nowhere else to slide in gracefully! So whilst rolling around in the surf to put humungous fins on, lost glove which a kindly (and most likely snickering) young fella with a bubs retrieved for me.  Then I was off, flippering through the swell into the wild briny!  Once I was through the surf and sand that was churned up from the bottom of seabed, all became clear as I ventured further out and was able to see the reef.
Was being careful not to venture too far on my first sortie as there was quite an undertow and a lot of cross currents.  Amazing one can flipper away and not go anywhere when the current is strong!
My neighbour and his wife decided to join me and as I came up to clear the facemask, I had company, so that was fun.

It is a great wetsuit and as usual, Gary always bought the best when he was pursuing "action" stuff!  So I benefit from great gear.  Was as warm as toast and snorkelled around for nearly an hour until the currents tired me out.  AND, now I suffer. Oh boy, the legs are tired and the muscles on the front of my tibia are going to be sore tomorrow from the extra pressure of using the fins. Bum muscles are sore also, but they could do with a bit of firming up!!  Felt totally invigorated and joyful that I can still do this stuff before I am too old.
After lunch had a great walk along the ridge overlooking Port Campbell which took about 1.5 hours. Also found the old tracks to the edge of the cliffs and took a detour along these and got some great pics!  Totally stuffed after I got back, and settled in for a nice snack and thirst quencher before din-dins needed to be prepared. All in all, a great day!
