2nd September Cairns Marina

Wind   NE  10 – 15   Sunny

Rather a boring  day today. The day disappeared catching up on paperwork, paying bills, talking to Telstra ( that always takes forever) and answering emails.

After returning the car and grabbing more bait and tackle, John, Morgan and I rode along the boardwalk to Wharf One Cafe. The cafe is dog friendly and overlooks Trinity Inlet. Breakfast was very tasty with a great view. We watched the naval ship HMAS Melville being towed into its berth up the inlet. I guess all the forty six sailors that normally operate it were on leave.  Melville is 71 metres long and gathers high quality hydrographic information.

I’m not sure but I think a friend of ours, Jarrod McCann is commissioned to this ship 

There were a couple more crabs in the pot to add to our collection which we cooked and gorged ourselves on for lunch. Nothing better than fresh blue swimmer, the shell on their claws and legs are so easy to crush compared to mud crab shell.
