No Fish Today

We went fishing with Brice today for the last time along with another couple Dallas and Harold. It was a “black day” according to Brice’s fishing almanac, so should have been the best day there can be for fishing. Obviously fish don’t read because we didn’t catch one we could bring home. Still it was a beautiful day on the water-I saw a couple of lots of dolphins, we saw a manta ray leaping a few times from the water, a salt ship leaving Useless Loop headed for Japan and most exciting to Russ and I, 2 dugongs, then another about 20 minutes later. We went out towards the end of Dirk Hartog Is. and travelled home on the inside of it very close to shore for a long way. It was so beautiful I didn’t mind not catching fish!

Tonight the 5 of us are having dinner together-Dallas is bringing calamari and potatoes, we are doing rissoles and salad and Brice is cooking up some of the fish we caught previously.

Russ was down at the butchers when Fred Hewson from Warrnambool came up and said Hi. He’d seen the car parked by the boat ramp during the day! Glenda, he’s a local retired detective and owns 25 Panorama Avenue where you have sent the occasional birthday and Christmas card. He’s staying a few nights in the park, so we will try and catch up with him before we all leave Wednesday.

I think Russ and I will remember Denham as one of the best times we had on this trip and in fact, we may even head back here if it gets too busy up North and we have trouble getting sites.
