When we leave Beez Neez to go off exploring we have to go under a bridge, turn left and head into town. The current through is quite something and a challenge for Bear to steer us safely.

After the bridge we follow a very long waterway. The land to the left belongs to the US Navy and local fisherman cast along the jetty. We laughed at the target boat.

Passing one day we saw the ‘crew resting’ in the folding net fencing – later loading some serious looking rounds

Meet Magic Penny II – a marina assistance boat, I fell in love with her immediately and went aboard for a closer look.

Bear had a worrying sight and had to take it out on a sailfish

Bear thought the dock masters office was being shored up, I liked the smell of freshly sawn wood.
