Last day of the Lobster Season, 31 March, we went out on a hunt. Nicholas finger is healed, the cuts scabbed over and the infection 99% gone. It’s his first time in the water in 6 weeks.

Bingo, a huge Lobster. The pole spear would not pierce the carapace, so Nicholas had to grab him by hand and pull him out of his hole, unfortunate loosing a couple of legs.
Thanks Nicholas, a dinner for a least 2 nights for me.....
Nicholas, not a fan of Lobster, was to have Braaied Lamb chops.

This is my standard 60cm oven tray.......
Poached, split in half, grilled with garlic and lemon butter.
Superb eating. I did not remember to take a photo of the final meal

Late afternoon 10 new yachts arrived. We don’t know where from, so our group of ‘clean’ yachties are having sundowners on a small beach away from the normal beach and boma.

Looking south across the Cut, to Ragged Island, the newly made ferry/container dock for supplies for the island. We see that a yacht is tied up in there...
