It was forecast to be 41' in Mount Gambier and more in Adelaide so I deferred my trip to Adelaide till next week and brought Henrietta down to Beechwood - to be joined by David when he finished work. They're starting picking seed at 6 and ending at 2, very sensible in a heatwave.
The temp was 28' with a balmy breeze and because the sea was flat I was invited to go out in the boat to check the craypots. It was gorgeous! Warm shimmering shallow water then deeper water and reefs out where the pots are.
First pot held three 'rats' which were returned to the sea and the second pot yielded a definite 'keeper' - so I am judged a lucky passenger and can go again, even if just to hold the boat and stop drifting while The Captain gets the car.
Crayfish score: 14.
We idled in over the reef to in front of Beechwood so I could photograph it from the sea.
