Still in the Straits

We spent an enjoyable couple of days with other friends from the SunnyCoast, Ivan and Carol, in late August. We even had enough wind coming from the right direction to sail so we headed for Garrys. The fish wouldn’t co-operate no matter how many lures the guys threw at them!

When they left, we headed to exploring Teebar creek, not far from Tin Can Bay, for a week.  The fish there are also few and far between – only the little ones are left though I did manage to out fish Greg at one stage! When I caught my fourth fish for the day, he was ready to throw me overboard though the tiny hardyhead that was smaller than my lure doesn’t count!

 

Glass out in Tin Can Inlet - not a good day for sailing!

 Anyone can catch big fish!

 Greedy little thing!

 

The birds are everywhere – photographing them is a challenge though some of them have posed for me.

This huge porker appeared on the beach up from the anchorage on low tide - the first time we've seen a feral pig in the Straits.

The weather is doing its usual thing – beautiful for about 4-5 days, then windy for a couple of days, before turning perfect again!  The mornings are still chilly but the days are just to die for.  The sunsets have also been turning it on for us!  Magic!  A very speccy place to spend a bit of time!
