beach deck

David worked on the beach deck at various times during the week because it's our favourite place to sit and look at the sea - except when the wind is southerly which is quite often.  He removed the unsafe stairs and simplified access to it so now hardy souls can sit there with a glass of wine and enjoy the view. I've bought solid chip bowls so the nibbles don't blow away.
 
At the crucial moment a pelican swam by.
 

He bought another freezer as last week's purchase was too big for the boat to fit into the garage, so now we own 8 freezers: excessive for the amount of fish caught so far. Though I have every faith things are about to change...

He swam in the bay on Sunday morning and caught one crayfish, not quite enough for family plus our guests Jenny and Rory so Rory McE loaned him two for the occasion.
Crayfish score - minus 2!

It was lovely to see our friends Jenny and Rory Hume en route from Adelaide to Mount Buller and Sydney before they return to Qatar where Rory will work for another 6 months. We've been friends since our children were small and Rory was in Mount Gambier as the school dentist.

They were impressed with the rock platforms that you can see in the sea from the tip of Cape Douglas and so was I as it was my first visit there.
