• Past Coral Bay to Point Cloates

    Apr 17–18, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    We are tucked up inside the reef, another beautiful day, not much wind so a slow, motor sail most of the way. Still no fish... maybe because coral spawn happening? Watching the ocean in hope of spotting Whaleshark 🦈. Tomorrow's the day hopefully 😀

    18th. We are blessed with a stunning day again...and despite a very big effort by Ted & Josh, still no fish 🤣. Plan B tea last night was zucchini and corn fritters & tonight neighbours fish (thanks SV Caprice for yummy Tuna). We are now north of Mauds Landing (Coral Bay) and will be heading to Pt Cloates tomoz, lots of no fish zones so a Plan B tea may be needed again 😀 baked beans? We travelled close to coast today, lots of birds, bugs and butterflies joined us...I got a nice little sting from what appeared to be a friendly native bee 🐝. We are still to see a whale shark but there is plenty of other activity... fav are the flying fish of course ❤️. It's not too crazy on water so far for big Eclipse event..this may change as we get closer to Exmouth?
