Winter is here. With the river as dead as it is I will try to get in once a week to see any progress. Meanwhile the river is still dead. The 9C air temp with a cool westerly greeted me. Mike came and flew his drone. No live nudibranchs of any kind were seen. Bubble shells are still to be found. A very large Stone Fish was sighted. The drysuit was warm and dry!
