Swinging in the water at about two feet over and amongst some rocks to the wet sand looking for a line of targets in and out of the water - I am right at the water's edge on the way out and feel a substantial splash of water on my back, neck etc - confused as it felt like someone flicked water on me (but noone for 100's of metres) and could not have come from sky - and I did not lift or splash with the scoop. My focus shifts to the water to see about a 3ft (head to tail) octopus swim away from my scoop back towards the submerged rocks. I drag my scoop everywhere I go - my shiny new stainless must have attracted him enough to grab a hold of it and he did not like being dragged out of the water so he squirted me! All I can say is OMG I'm glad I did not attempt to dig a target - I would have totally shat if that little 8 legs was feeling my foot.
Seriously, life with a PI is dangerous - also recently a baby snake came out of a dry dune beach hole I dug - he was only about 8 inches long but was flaring up at my coil - freaky!
