G'day All,
Galleycat iz currently 20 miles South of Exmouth but on the outside of the peninsula. We are doing the best we can with windy weather limiting our thyme spent outside the reef.
Big Ash, Cory, Lucas and Tom arrived from Perth and we loaded the yot with supplies b4 a last minute trip to the supermarket then it was back to the yot for afternoon drinks and sort thyme for all the luggage.
With a weather forecast for strong winds after Wednesday we've headed South After a first night parked near the top end of the Cape sheltering near the beach as the wind finally dropped just B4 dawn. Day two had us moving further round the Cape until the wind dropped and we set up the trolling lines for a run down the outside of the Ningaloo Reef. NO hook ups but we set up camp just behind the reef at Tantabiddi, early to bed for everyone but our two French guests who managed to catch there first shark.Here we managed a Galleycat first !, we broke a reef anchor in half trying to get a grip in the loose coral. Thyme 2 fit a new bigger one!
Tonight iz New Yearz so we are setting up camp inside South Passage near the Yardie creek end of the Highway.
Much drinks and merriment but I didn't make midnight. Old timers disease !
2 more days of ruff weather and a possible looming Cyclone had us heading back to Exmouth early.
Alas our new years trip was kind of over B4 it really began. Still we caught fish and the diving was good apparently.
Still having photo download issues with the new camera and the computer not talking to each other.This two could be old timers kicking in again.
Itz now thyme to prepare the Yot to receive 2 groups of visitors. the first being Mr Mick and hiz son Daniel followed 2 weex later by mum and dad making the journey Northwards
