Sigh! those pics bring back great memories. Looks a bit like Pera Heads area in the background. Bit envious , bet you enjoyed yourself!

Hi Bob

Not actually sure what the heads were called but it was past red cliffs area if thats a help.
Yes had a ball although the sharks taking the fish half way in ended up getting to me.

sounds like it was somewhere near Pera Heads, great spot. We nearly run over a sailfish one day as it was sun baking on the surface.Sharks always a problem too.
