Had a great day, no rain, well during the day, noodling around the mangroves. We went up the creek in the photo and saw masses of little black and white crabs with one big, orange claw. There were also masses of little blue crabs and a few other varieties. Tried to take a photo but they would disappear as soon as we came near the shore, I have put up the best one. That area is a..mazing... and so large, from the map it looks smaller than it actually is.
We packed up and set Kate, the navigator, for Cleveland and came over to North Stradbroke Island in the vehicular ferry. We are at Amity... dou dou, dou dou, dou dou, (hope you realise I am trying to sound like Jaws, they do have a reputation for bull sharks, but I know why, sharks know a good place when they see it) WHAT A MAGNIFICENT PLACE...... and with the sun setting over the water..... beautiful azure water, calm seas, different from the NSW coast, we have decided to stay for a week. The wx is looking calm for a few days so we hope to head out to Peel Island tomorrow. We have the large(r) tent out and our bed now looks out over the calm waters of Morton Bay, at night all the markers are flashing and the airport beacon is visible, really beautifull. Yesterday the dolphins were stealing the fish from the lines of the guys on the jetty. Apparently this is a common event.
Hard to imagine that life could be better............
