Weather –
A heavy fog and light drizzle was coming down at the beginning of todays short count. The temperature was 8.3C and it was completely calm with no wave action. Visibility was limited to 100 meters and more often than not McGulpin Rock wasn’t even visible. After 1 hour of effort the count was called off due to lack of visibility. I returned at 1:45PM to see if things had improved and it hadn’t. The visibility was no better than when I had left this morning. As such I feel confident no opportunity was missed to count today.
