Surchin…
Thursday, August 6th, 2009 | Uncategorized

I always used to think that I was unlucky if I got an urchin spine in my foot coming in at Sandon. Well I went for a bit of a snorkel off the boatsheds the other day and got a shock. The number of urchins I saw was amazing. If you put your foot down out there and don’t get an urchin spine then you are pretty lucky…These pictures don’t really show just how many there are. Thousands.

There were masses of black ones, these really angry looking red ones and even some with an amazing green sheen in the light. So beware!! I will never wade in the shallows out there again!
