Floundering

 We crossed over to the beach around 2:30pm for ideal conditions. The tide was up for the entire afternoon and with only a slight breeze.  There were are few Saturday arvo people around but not too many. One group that came later were spear fishers. They were all kitted out in their gear and brought small eskies to hold the catch as well as torches and food to last into the night.  What is the collective name for a group of blacked out frogmen? I am going with a subterfuge of frogmen. They were a black V shaped wave of death heading out. Too dramatic?  One of them came in shore directly towards our camp. Debbie had to find out what was up with this guy as he struggled with a flounder that was still flapping on his gun.  In the end he battered it til it stopped. He said he was going to batter it again later at tea time.  It was a perfect plate sized fish.  One of the things I want to try is a night time snorkel. He reckons the bay comes alive after dark. We have also heard the blue ringed octos like to go out at night as well.
