The first video from Aus was very interesting to see. I lived in the house on the left of the screen in the part that shows to sunken sail boat (Stockton NSW). I worked on a prawn trawler out from Newcastle and had the mooring exactly where the sunken boat was. This video was probably filmed in late summer early autumn (april-may?) when the strong westerly winds come in. Trawling off the coast in these conditions was hard as you have the pacific swell coming in from E and the strong winds from the west working against the swell. At the same time as you are trawling N-S or S-N. We often worked nights too which made things even more uncomfortable. The dolphins were regular company and I have even seen sea lions accompanying them. No crocs there…. Only sharks…. The worst thing we had to deal with were electric rays in with the prawns on the sorting tables. Anyway..that was a bit off topic but interesting :-)
