Wind   20 – 30 knots SE  Sunny with scattered showers

Woke up to wind and squally showers, John cooked the appropriate breakfast for the location. Pancakes! Ours had lemon and sugar Morgan only had hers buttered. John spoils her not me.

The showers cleared so we took the dinghy over to check the crab traps but they were high and dry on the sand flats. The tidal difference here is about 2 metres so we obviously didn’t put them in deep enough water to start with.

Jenny and Morgan walked across the sand and mud flats to check them and found  a mud crab in each one. John minded the dinghy as we didn’t take the anchor with us. Fantastic, looks like crab for lunch.

Morgan had an enjoyable time chasing small fish in the shallows, she went for 500 mts running around up the sand flats after them, it was a struggle getting her back to the dinghy and very out of character as she doesn’t usually leave our side.

Another couple were wandering around looking for crabs as they had lost their trap some days before. They found two crabs just sitting on the mud bank which they rolled over and picked them up and into their bucket. I’ve never seen crabs just sitting out like that. I shall go and look tomorrow.

Back to Ovive where we fished and cooked crab. Caught no fish but the crab was superb.

 

We were invited to a Lagoon catamaran called Moor R & R (Paul and Kathy) for dinner with Rob and Lesley and Bryan and Deb. Excellent evening of spaghetti bolognaise (delicious), salad, crusty bread and lots of laughs. We delivered R&L and B& D back to their boats about 9:30 and retired to O’vive where Morgan was waiting patiently.
