No FIsh for Todd
Before We Headed Out Fishing
Brice took Russ, Todd, Me and Harold fishing yesterday. It was a bit rough in the morning, but settled down to a nice day. The trouble was, we couldn’t get a fish to bring home. Todd caught heaps, but had to throw them all back So much for my promises of Brice never failing to catch fish, I’ll probably be reminded of that in times to come! It was still a good day-we stopped and ate our lunch at Pt Peron-it’s beautiful where the red cliffs meet the white sand which meets the blue water.
We were hiking along on the way home when we ran aground on a sand bar. Harold and the fish box fell into the cabin, clipping Todd on the shins as they went. It was lucky no real hurts were suffered and the boat props ($1000 each) were OK. Brice has travelled that way lots of times, but the tide was particularly big and Shark Bay can be very shallow in places at the best of times-even we have run the tinny aground. We ended the day up at Brice’s having drinks and nibblies with him, Harold and Delyce. Poor Todd having to put up with all us old farts!
Early This Morning-Our Van is Second on the Left
Right now, Russ and Todd are out fishing for crab bait-we’ll go do some crabbing after lunch. Brice has bought us 16 crabs for dinner though in case the crabbing’s a failure!
Tonight is our last in the van for 8 weeks. We move into a cabin here for 2 nights tomorrow, clean the van pack our clothes and passports, then the van and boat go into storage here. It’s a funny feeling after 6 months and I worry about leaving it behind more than I did about the house!
