Sunday morning at Gordons Bay

With winter approaching rapidly the water in Gordons Bay is getting too cold for some of us. Today I tried out my brand-new wetsuit and managed to stay in well over 30 minutes, it does make a huge difference and makes the experience a lot more enjoyable. It was another sunny day with fairly good visibility and loads of stripey/spotted/big blue-lipped fish.













































































After a much needed lunch in Coogee I walked back to Gordons Bay to give it another go.
