A Little Wander Through
Clarence Town
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We launched baby
Beez and fancied a little wander ashore. We set off for Flying Fish Marina. We
stopped to admire the birds on
the marina fence, one having a good shake before performing a fly-by -
getting to be a new habit after the display boys yesterday. We found no dinghy
dock, eventually seeing a ladder up to the high walkway - ominous - only one
small German yacht in, the rest sport fishing boats worth millions - even the
fishing reels are electronic, the plugs the same size as we use as shore
power on Beez. Press button, silent electric doors and more fishing arms than a
trawler. We were greeted by a lady who was very nice and helpful. I paid my $5
and settled to a serious amount of blog posting and email catching up. The lady
said $8 to park Baby Beez so we planned to move her as soon as I was done to the
Government dock closer to town for free. Horrid man appeared, he became nicer
when Bear decided he wanted to book a car for tomorrow and in fairness we have
had no problems with him really.

moved Baby Beez and went in search of some lunch. We had to walk beside a ditch
that had simply hundreds of jellyfish laying around
looking very nasty. Wouldn't want to walk back from a
session and fall in there. I hoped to see a
wonderful looking hummingbird with an iridescent purple necklace, called a
Bahama Woodstar, but other than a few weeds and insects, very few flowers, so
little chance.
![]() We found a delightful 'mamma' who only had one bit of chicken
but was very happy to fry some fish for Bear. A couple of local beers and our
fresh food arrived with rice (cheeky spices) and macaroni
cheese

the Post Office, Bear needed to post his last payment
