Was a little bit rock and roll last night in Windy Bay. I slept
very well despite the northerly swell rolling into the bay so no dramas. The
morning was overcast and we went to a very nice sandy beach where we had seen
the sea planes land and drop people onto the beach.
It was a very pleasant walk and we found some very good shells.
On the way back from the beach I must have lost my rod out of
the dinghy without seeing it go.
When I arrived back at Billabong it was missing. We had
travelled a fair way so I headed back but it would be like finding a needle in
a hay stack. I know the rod floats but not very high so it would be difficult.
I went back towards the beach but could not find it. I stopped the motor to see
where I would drift and then I altered coarse a bit and headed back towards
Billabong but closer to shore. Wow how lucky was I. I found it!!
I quickly went fishing before lunch and caught 2 Stripey perch.
Isabella invited us for lunch because they have to start eating
food defrosting from their now not working Waeco freezer. Chicken sausages - yum.
The wind was picking up from the north and we decided to go to
Chance Bay and then have lunch.

After lunch we went ashore and walked 3.6km through the bush to
Whitehaven Beach. Had a quick swim and then returned to the yachts for
sundowners.

The wind has completely died out and now the water is like
glass.
Tamara cooked chicken soup which is a pleasant change from fish.
