Up, had brekky. Gail had a lay day. We went fishing and caught 52 whiting & 1 flathead – yabbies worked a treat. Shared a few of our catch with the Trotters. As you will see we had quite a healthly lunch followed by ice cream :)
On the way back to the boat we seen a couple in an inflatable boat rowing. Not something easily done when there's no wind. Virtually impossibly when there is one. The poor bloke had been rowing for a while and not making any ground. Trev dropped us off and grabbed a tow rope and by the time he got back to them they were half way out the bay. They were very grateful for the assistance. Offering their car if we needed to go into town for anything and anytime to come over for a beer. :) The lady told Trev he was her Jesus. (that gave us a giggle)
We said goodbye to the Trotters. They moved out the the point ready to go South when the northerly comes through tomorrow.
They gave us 20 litres of water which we were grateful for. One thing about being on a boat you’re conscious of how much water you use because we can only carry 180 litres. We have ordered a new tank that will hold 160 litres + 100 litres in drums = 260 litres. That will be so much better. Might get to wash my hair more often. Starting to feel a bit ‘how ya going’.
We seen the family of dolphins that live in the bay. They look like humpback dolphins.
We went over and visited the rels for a while, bought some squid from the truck that comes around selling bread, bait, ice etc. Caught up with Karl, played a game or two before walking the inflatable out to deep water. Aunty is big into playing cards and games.
Back to the boat to work out what was simple for dinner and watch a few of Trev’s tv shows before hitting the hay.
