This weekend I did something very very silly….
I took my new camera on a jet ski in a plastic container (i.e not waterproof housing) and got some snaps of Port Phillip Bay. We only nearly fell of the jet ski, hmmm…. repeatedly. I hope it was worth it!

Thanks to my Jetski driver and all round relaxing company James

    I only just saw the ocean for the first time last year. I think that had my view been this nice the sunburn would have been worth it.
    Its a lovely shot, and so clear…especially considering that you weren’t on solid ground. Well done.
