Even an ugly mug

Even an ugly mug (Macronectes halli)

looks better clean ;)
Last post from out at sea off Kaikoura. Not that I don't have more, but they'd get repetitive. And anyway, I need to finish this trip so I can share some of my UK and Norway pics. And of the trip, there's still four more days in NZ to cover, then Hawaii, then California, and even some from Amsterdam.
