June 28th Still Up the Creek

Wind  20 -25  knots SSE   60% chance of showers with sun in between

Still here sitting out some pretty fierce winds in our rather sheltered creek. The weather report via Paul is constant so maybe we can get away Tuesday if the winds drop slightly. Seas will still be up though.

Another fishing expedition however not as many as yesterday.

Nice legs, better bream

Caught about 8 bream today so it was preparation for a seafood night on Moor R&R to use up the fish. Still no decent crabs in the pots only 7 small blue swimmers.

Where is mumma flathead

Our cold box (beer and vegie frig) is playing up, we think it is the thermostat. The temperature  won’t get lower than 13°. John zoomed over to pick up a spare unit from another boat and will have a go at fixing it tomorrow.

Exploring the tributaries,looking for crabs, fish or crocs 

Rob and Lesley on Bojangles arrived from Rosslyn Bay, they had a good trip up the coast doing 8knts although there was a bit of a following sea. They ripped a huge hole in their dinghy as they collided with the pulpit on the boat next to them as they manoeuvred out of the marina pen in high winds.

At 4:30 the social hub including Rob and Lesley and John from Cyclades gathered on Moor R & R for wasabi fish in Panko breadcrumbs, fish filled pastry parcels, potato bake and salad. Tonight it was everyone bring something. Excellent feast but as usual,  too much food,leftovers tomorrow.
