It was actually quite an overcast day and there were a few spits of rain. However there was no downpour and the sea was a very reasonable 24\u00b0C. We hoped that it was raining on some bushfires somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merry Christmas everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-5 is-cropped\"><ul
