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.
   We
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
    We wandered past the tourist information map, found the sign for
the Post Office, Bear needed to post his last payment
to the Pension People
  In the vestibule we found antique post
collection boxes and a delightful lady
  Below the Christmas 2010
mailing times was the Beatitudes with a modern take to entertain
us
 The capital 'city' Clarence
Town
ALL IN ALL WE LOOK FORWARD TO EXPLORING
TOMORROW
