The better half booked a few days off either side of last weekend to take advantage of the public holiday gone.

Took the dive and snorkel gear and explored some beaches west and east of Denmark.

First day at the beach the swell was borderline to get abs at one location so after awhile I gave up and chose to snorkel around. Found and caught my first Southern Rock Lobster somewhere around the 130/140 mm on the carapace. Far superior in taste to the west coast models. Also relocated to the bbq a smallish occy whose sacrifice was well thanked and regarded.

Ambled round enjoying the coastline further east driving around and walking. Water activities subsided til the arvo when heading home and got in west of town. Felt a little edgy swimming out a few hundered meters but was met with a good family of nice sized greenlips. Headed further out to find an inquisitive female Blue Groper and a Queen Snapper (650+/-) snuffling about.

Loaded the gun for the Snapper to end somehow manage to make spaghetti. Sorted it out and found the Queen Snapper. Dispatched and felt there was more than enough to eat.

Swam in keeping an eye out for Bruce.

Upon getting near a granite outcrop to sort out the gun, guts and gills of fish a nice Blue Groper about 800 or so came in for a look. Had not sorted gun out so Groper lived to be inquisitive for another day. Figured I had enough to warrant a few good feeds as well as swimming back in a couple of hundred meters with part bleeding fish

Cooked up abs and fish on bbq last night and tonight. Had forgotten the taste of greenlips. Another road trip to the south coast in order
