Two appologies to begin with. First, the blog went out late. I wrote it early but it got stuck in my out box which we didn’t notice until late in the day. Second, on reading my blog again I may have misrepresented the size of Port Fitzroy. A reader might easily assume a number of residential/other buildings nestled amongst those that I mentioned. No. Sorry. That was mostly it.
So yesterday was simply one of those days that was just nice. After a bit of a lie in I got out in the dinghy and fished in a spot recommended by the lady in the shop and caught a couple of red snapper. Not very big but big enough. They came back to the boat, were popped in a bag and put in the fridge for later disassembly.
We then went ashore for our walk. It was nearly high tide so we had no problems with the mud. We walked to the nearby campsite and dropped of our trash and then hiked the Warren trail that took us up through the woods, past a cascading waterfall and then met the bridle path we’d been on the previous day. We carried on into Port Fitzroy to pick up some fresh veg to go with the fresh fish.
Next stop was the burger bar down by the ferry dock. It turned out to be open and we ordered a burger and fries each. They turned out delicious but way too much for us. We could have got by sharing a portion of fries between us.
Back at the boat I had a little siesta before we moved the boat round to Kaiarara Bay ready for our hike today.
The rest of the afternoon was relaxing and reading. The sky was blue and the sea flat. We gently floated around our anchor with the surrounding green hills moving around us. Very serene.
Finished off the day watching Invictus. A pretty good movie about the Springboks and their world cup attempt immediately following the end of Apartheid.
