Down time and dugongs
Hi Everyone, welcome to the blog. Miles and I are dragging the chain, but the kids have been busy. Enjoy.
p.s. turns out dragging the chain is not a nautical saying, and our anchor chain is fine. Not dragging.
p.p.s. That's Garry's anchorage above, our home for the last 2 days. Thick with dugongs. Shy dugongs who don't like to be photographed.

Fishing
Fishing
Today I woke up at 6.20am to go fishing. I woke up Dad and he linked three hooks
together because that’s what I saw other fishermen doing yesterday. Then I got some white pilchards I had used
yesterday (and got nothing) then I went to the jetty. As soon as I got there I rigged my line with
a whiting sinker, a rolling swivel, my linked hooks. Then I put my pilchard on; I put one hook
through the tail and one hook through middle, and one hook through the eye.
Then I cast. As soon as I dropped my
bait into the water, I got a bite and I waited.
Then I felt a tug and a jerk. I
had a fish. I reeled it in and it was a
yellow tailed pike. I waited some more
as I could see other pike stealing my bait.
Then they were gone and I caught nothing, so I filleted it and it put its
skeleton in the crab net. Then I fried
the fillets in butter and ate them with lime juice.
