The A frame

Thursday 14th October
On our way north we didnt get to stop at West Bay here on Middle Percy because of the weather. Early this morning we hauled anchor and headed around to West Bay whilst the wind and swell were supposed to moved more easterly. No they didn’t. The wind and swell were coming straight in the bay.
We anchored and made our way to the beach. The reason everyone stops at West bay is to visit the A frame hut and leave a plaque. We were here to upgrade the one we left last year and Lydia had a new one to leave. It’s fascinating looking at all the plaques and names of the boats.
We chatted with the caretakers of the island, had lunch, a swim and left our mark. It was too rolly to stay in the bay so we returned to Rescue Bay. Graham from Symphony came over to see if Lydia wanted to go spearfishing. She didn’t need asking twice. She picked up her gun, mask, fins and weights and was in the dinghy in seconds. About an hour later they returned. Graham had caught a fish. Lydia didn’t see any of the ones she was looking for so she returned empty handed this time, Graham shared half his fish with us.
