Edit SpotAbout
If you manage to hook up with an old local bloke called Wayne he lives in a bus and has a load of bizzar animals living with him cammels, goats etc etc... mention Bristol and cozz from u.k. he may remember us and taking us to a spot near granites called tractors, where er both paddled out alone with wayne watching from his truck with a pair of binoculars, a couple of waves later and wayne is waving and shouting "get out get out!" he'd seen a massive dorsel fin about 200metres away from us, turned out a diver had been nearly attacked that day too...
