Edgecumbe Bay was too shallow for us so had to move
to better shelter, wind due 25 to 30 knts. This bay is much better, no one here,
great bay, good shelter but has some extreme bullets firing down the
valley.
Off to the rocky beach to look for oysters. The
rocks are amazing, all rounded off from pebbles to 1 tonne rocks. Anyway after a
couple of hours we had a very large bucket full and the fire was lit for Bar B
oysters. Noi also brought lamb chops and sausages, incase we didn't find
oysters. A beer or two as well as it happens.
Noi also managed to slip in the rocks, (too focused
on free oysters, they are $29 per dozen in Monty's cut her finger quite badly on
a bit of coral so medical attention applied as soon as the Bar B and beer were
done. It is looking good now, the finger that is.
Also put out the crab pot and did some fishing,
both without success. Haven't caught a fish since we arrived in the Whitsundays
and I am hearing the same thing from a number of
people.
