Today was Bondi beach day, with a strawl from Bondi to Tamarama Beach and some serious rock climbing. Even a quick test of the sea, which was too cold and too wild. But, the kids tried, not everyday you get a chance to swim in the Pacific Ocean.
On grey morning, the RFA Wave Knight departs Rothesay Bay, Isle of Bute, Scorland.
RFA Wave Knight is a Wave-class Tanker, displacing 31,500 tonnes, of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) and is tasked with providing fuel, food, fresh water, ammunition and other supplies to Royal Navy vessels around the world.

She was accepted into service in 2003 and is the second ship to bear this name in RFA service. Wave Knight and her sister Wave Ruler replaced the elderly Olna and Olwen (two Ol-class Tanker 36,000 ton fast fleet tankers built at Swan Hunter and Hawthorn Leslie respectively in the 1960s.) She is currently commanded by Captain Ross Ferris, RFA.

When providing support for amphibious operations, Wave Ruler is also able to deliver fuel to dracones positioned alongside.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - As the sun was setting, a small storm cell formed. It was moving onshore a few miles to my south. The top of the cloud caught the sunlight and turned a beautiful shade of orange.
A mixture of sun and cloud today, more cloud. When the light is softer the sea takes on a beautiful blue. The surf was up to 4 m and a strong wind did its bit in creating spindrift. The energy is awesome.
This is the 7th largest lake in Europa. A little bit windy day, perfect for long exp. shots!
First time a tried this with the waves. I like the effect.
Sea birds migrate true this area, so me and a few freinds spend some time looking for them. Pritty cold tougth. This were during the autumn.
