The weather so far has been a pattern of mostly windy days but drops off enough to see us out in the Kayaks everyday. So far the fishing has been quiet, i have caught a small shark of the beach and a couple of small spangeld emperor, the Shark fed us all, the spangled went back in the water to grow a lot bigger.
Kimbo and i had a good afternoon squiding, between us we caught 10 squid ranging in size from large to medium, I cooked up a couple of tubes to go with our battered fish and Vickie's yummy coleslaw for tea the night Jo & Dave arrived.
Vickie has had a couple of experiences with having two sharks swim close to her Kayak, one was a Hammerhead and unsure of the other species. I spotted a very large Tiger Shark swimming past our camp in shallow water a week ago, we have seen a large Tiger Shark cruising in shallow water at previous times we have been here so mostl likley the same one.
The Mozzies and bugs have been a nuisance, one evening we had hundreds of Dragon Flies circling around our camp, we hope they were there to eat the bloody mozzies.
Other than that life here is enjoyable, we are certain that we will have perfect days to come and even the worst day is better than any alternative.

HHHMMMmmm... dragonflies, huh? We ran into a massive swarm (? is this the correct collective noun??) between Cobar & Wilcannia a few weeks ago. Maybe it's ideal breeding conditions for them?
I hope mum has those legs ready to paddle full steam ahead if the shark finds her of interest.lol
Hi Mick & Vick. Enjoyed reading your blog and seeing where you're at. Wish I was there with you guys. It's freezing here in Sydney and I've got a winter cold! Keep your legs up on the kayak, Vickie. I don't want to read about anyone attacked by a shark at Ningaloo! Love, Margie xx
