Dicing with Death

Rock fishing is the most dangerous sport in Australia.
Hard to believe but we lose many fishermen lives each year.
I sat and watched as this gentleman diced with death repeatedly.
However, he did provide me with an excellent photo opportunity.
Can you see the yacht on the horizon???
This photograph was taken at the northern end of Killcare Beach....ironic?

Thanks, Hal.
There was another bike out there who had the sense to get off the ricks.
This was one of the smaller sprays but I chose this composition due to the position of the yacht.
