Saturday 18th February
\nThe day started with a swim before breakfast. Then after breakfast B told us its not going to rain until the afternoon so we all climbed into the dinghy and went ashore. We walked the beach looking at the array of shells. B and Andrew found a cave.
\nThen it rained. We made our way back to the dinghy. Andrew waded into the water and maneuvered the dinghy to make it easy for Sue and B to get into the dinghy without getting their clothes wet. Sue made it half way into the dinghy when her other leg started sinking into the loose pebbles (like quicksand). -B decided it would be a good idea to help her, but then B lost her balance and over she went. Sue made it all the way into the dinghy while laughing at B sitting on her bum, chest deep in the water. Luckily the phones and camera had just been put into the water proof bag B was carrying.
\nBy the time we made it back to Imagine the rain had stopped. That’s when we noticed B had shut her hatch (in anticipation of the rain we weren’t getting) while the rest were open.
\nWe hauled anchor to go find another bay. The bay we set off for already had two boats in it, so we went to the next bay. There were two charter boats in the Bay so we anchored out a bit while we had lunch knowing they wouldn’t stay.
\nAfter lunch we could see there was a small swell coming in the Bay so we headed off for somewhere else. We found a small sheltered bay. Andrew and B went ashore walked the beach, climbed trees and returned dry. It hasn’t rained all afternoon. B is no longer allowed to report on the weather conditions.
\nThe fishing before wine and nibblies only hooked small snapper, so B made curry and rice for dinner. After dinner the girls wanted to do some more fishing. This time a little more successful. Several small snapper were caught. B had her line broke a couple of times before Sue brought in a Kawhai. Fish for lunch tomorrow.<\/div>\n\n\n
