Whale Oil Beef Hooked

G'day all,
Yeah, I'm a slack arse in finally posting this. I'm sure I'll get over it. What you do is up to you!
Had a great time in Adelaide; Thanks again to
Mea for putting the draggy up for a couple of nights.
I was chuffed & honoured to have caught up with so many of the SAFurs while I was there. In the space of about 1/2 hour, they'd gotten an impromptu meet going. Thanks guys & gals!
My friends were at Wreck Beach yesterday & saw 3 pods of dolphins 'surfing,' so I took the tin lids out there today to see if they'd be there again.
Yeah, last time I surfed with the dolphins was a leeetle bit intimidating, but I wanted to do it again!
Alas, the dolphins were nowhere to be seen...
... Instead, there was 6 or 7 Southern Right Whales playing in the water - some of which were only around 100m from shore.
They put on a great display for us, flipping over & waving their fins for a couple of hours.
I'm really pissed off that I couldn't find my digital SLR to get some good shots - I only had a pocket digital camera which did an absolutely shithouse job at getting pics. We snapped away, but they are pretty crappy quality. If I come across any good ones, I'll be sure to post them.
No, I wasn't stupid enough to go out there with them.
No, the draggie isn't afraid. He just doesn't exactly want to deal with the National Parks & Wildlife officers that were no doubt lurking in the shadows. (When we got there, it was just us & 1 surfer already out there. By the time we left, there had been dozens of people come down there, including what looks like someone with a professional camera. Maybe I can steal some shots from them!) XD
And before you ask,
arcticpete, nobody mistook me for a beached whale and tried to drag me back out. :-P
Cheers,
Ant
