The view from my "office"

I've seen people doing just that there in the past when it's much calmer. You'd have a death wish to be in that water today though.
You go with the current and it's generally ok. The laminar flow of the water keeps you off the rocks.
 
While I was still snoring in bed my wife took this photo of Jupiter and Venus in close conjunction. Early tomorrow morning (Perth time) there will be a "once in a thousand years" alignment of Saturn, Mars, Venus and Jupiter.

We then rode over to the next suburb to see my nearly 6 year old grandson attend his first Saturday of Auskick. The weather was truly PERfect.

Well we got up at 0245, 0500 & 0715 and couldn't do much better than yesterdays photo. We tried 2 cameras a tablet and a phone but they were simply not good enough to get a really good photo when the skies were dark. These are probably the best ones but at least you can see that Jupiter and Venus are aligned more closely than yesterday.
