Rescue Bay has kept us sheltered from the northerly winds for the past few days. The bay has two sandy beaches separated by a rocky cliff.
Tuesday morning Andrew and Lydia went ashore and climbed the hill to see if there was any reception but there wasn’t. After the short climb Lydia exclaimed “I dont like being on land, my gills are drying out”. She has just forgotten how to walk. So it looks like climbing the sand dune and kayaking down its steep edge is now off the itinerary.
Back in the water Lydia found a bommie with lots of fish around, so she was happy she could go spearfishing. After lunch we all went back to the beach for a swim. Sue attempted to climb the sand dune, but soon returned to the water claiming “the sand on the dune was too hot”. It had nothing to do with the size of the dune and that she had taken 3 steps up and promptly fallen on her bum!
Today on our way back from the beach we saw a yacht had anchored over Lydia’s bommie and was playing around with their anchor. They hadn’t seen the bommie when they came in late yesterday afternoon and now their anchor was caught around it.
Lydia dived the bommie and let Graham and Sue (Symphony II) know which way their anchor was wrapped around, so they could get free. Lydia then continued diving the bommie and speared two fish. She gave one to Symphony. Graham, Sue and Jamie re-anchored and came over for sundowners.
The colour of the water is Magnificent.
Good size fish, you’ll never be able to eat frozen oven baked fish ever again!!
