Today the weather was beautiful. Clear blue skies, temperature 23C, slight breeze.
Took my 3.5 mtre (11 ft) dinghy out to sea.
The sea surface was almost glassy , could see into the subsurface. Watched the whiting circle underneath. Apparently not hungry. they nibbled, but did not swallow the baits and hooks that presented to them.
Watched a 2 ft long Yellowfin Queenfish circle beneath my boat for 3 hours. Had no interest in the baits offered. (smart fish?)
Pottered over to a Trimaran that looked as if it had "live-aboards".
Very long chats about travels, boating, fishing - Westernport Bay, - taking an 8 ton ; 32ft, ocean going ketch from Lakes Entrance into Sydney Harbour - up to Maryborough Q; and pottering around the 'Great Sandy Straits" and pumping 'yabbies' at low tide off the iconic "Fraser Island"
These are images that will never forget.
.
One of my best days in 18 months.
Perhaps one of the things that i miss here.
The "Travellers" ...
But have no 'selfie' images to prove anything ...erk.
