Relaxing at slipper Island

The last few days have been filled with a bit of rest and relaxation on board Starling. We found a nice anchorage on the southwestern corner of Slipper Island and made the most of the gaps in the poor weather when we had the chance.

A couple of points of interest included a visit from the local tax man, who wasn't a fan of the undersized snapper that Nathan was pulling in on the bait rod, and Nathan also went for a little dive off the western side of Rabbit Island, resulting in a nice little haul of goat fish along with a leather jacket. There were a lot of kingfish seen, mostly around the 50-60cm mark, and one legal sized which came in for a look, but unfortunately the spear gun wasn't loaded.

Regardless, we had a great time hanging out here, plan is to move a bit further north for the weekend, fingers crossed for a spot of nice weather!Læs mere
