• Day 92 - Smithys

    July 31, 2024, Indian Ocean ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

    All the smoke has cleared, and we have blue sky again. Heading up the beach for a fish and swim.

    Just getting organised and Smithy arrives to fix a leaking tap next to us. What a funny bloke. He talked about a dozen different topics in half an hour. Then his wife strolls over to tell him to turn the water back on so ppl can use the toilets.

    We told Smithy that Alex said to say hi, and we mentioned that he had stayed here 2 years ago and there was a scorpion bite and Smithy had to rush the lady to Beagle Bay for treatment, he laughed when he remembered the story. And yes, she survived.

    Up to the rocks at the end of the beach, Wayne headed off with his rod, and I hit the water. Was a bit stirred up with the wind, but the temp was beautiful.

    Relaxing on the beach with our awning out, and we saw that they were burning off again. The Cliffs along the beach are really red in some places and deep iron coloured in others.

    Watched 3 vans coming along the beach. I'm pretty sure the first one got bogged and decided that was where he was staying. The other 2 pulled up behind him.

    We rang the car place to see how our part was coming along. They need more photos before they send the part. grrr
