We surfed past Whale Head, just east of SE CapeThe southernmost point of the main island of Tasmania on some of the biggest waves I've ever seen – and very short wavelength.

And we are being entertained by gannets pretending to be albatrosses, reigning over all they survey. Except that they run out of lift just when an albatross gets into gear and they have to flap. Exit stage left, gannet, egg on face. Gordy in Falmouth and Alan in Crosshaven – I've heard that the errant T shirts turned up back in Australia. Do I still owe either of you or did we sort it before we left? Anyone else over there not got one that I promised? txt +61418243600. Past Cape Bruny and I think I can see or escort – Yay Chris!
