Supply Ship Excitement and
Jolly Good Paddling
Bear jumped up early and ran around
about with his camera this morning. A ship is coming
in. Yes dear, I’ll just turn over and have another hour, I feel five
thirty a little early for this vexation. Guess
what.................. I can’t wait a second
longer.........
..............A full account of u-turn came forth.
To say I was thrilled when the skipper
took his muesli to the cockpit for a front seat
breakfast is an understatement. I got my hour.
I got up to find the Olomana of Avatu in fine form.
At nine we went to pick up Sofia and
Blake (Windarra), timing our entry around the
unloading.
Around a dangling
container, but plenty of strong men to help hoist Baby Beez.
A good go at rock
pooling.
Despite the
stunning pools.........
Bear couldn’t
help watching the unloading.
The men worked
hard and we carried on with our exploring.
A couple of nice
pencils, time to cross the wharf and scruff about there on the other
side.
This side was more of a warm paddle
in six inches of water.
Amazing to walk to
the edge of the reef, but soon the tide turned and we moved
on.
Up, along the road and down to a cute
little beach.
Bear had plenty to watch.
We swam in the warm, natural pools,
close to the girls.
A nice fat worm and a soft star,
scruffy with a piece of seed stuck to
him.
A good sized hermy (hermit), very hairy
legs for rock bimbling.
Homeward bound, with not enough wind,
so the girls looked like they were having a tiff, facing in
all directions – a rolly night in the swell then.
ALL IN ALL GOOD
