Boating Boys

The males of the house are perfectly happy. This morning at sparrowfart off they went on their boating adventure. (I declined the temptation to leave my bed in the dark to go play in the chilly morning with sand flies and mosquitos and offered sexual favours on Christian's safe return - didn't have to do that...they seemed to have had a perfectly good time - Live and Learn!) They came home with stories of what they saw on the islands, the turtles, the fish that were thrown back and the whoppers they missed. The tinny (a 12 foot boat with a five hp motor) has now been launched in 5 local boat ramps and they are eagerly waiting for next weekend so they can explore more.

Anna and I slept in blissfully and we both pretended to clean house a little for a while. We are both ready to ... turn our dogs over to the errant dog people. Well almost.

I went with them this afternoon to Toolooa Bends, and we caught a 38 cm flathead... perfect size... the big ones taste awful! They caught a few whiting this morning. It was a lovely ride in the boat. It wasnt hot and it certainly wasnt cold - our long sleeves were more incase of insects than the weather. Sea Eagles and something large... I missed it but heard it and the boys were amazed with the size of the head.. either a turtle or a dugong they decided.

Let's see how I go posting pictures this time.
