Father’s Day and the first day of Summer....
What a glorious day for the first day of summer.
We spent the day pulling our prawn traps that we set yesterday and cruising the local waters of Desolation Sound.
First the Prawn report... all we can say is we caught enough for our supper... somewhat short of our expectation of filling the freezer for our first meal with the Swain’s and Scottnicki’s.
The Day was absolutely perfect for cruising.
Very little wind and glass like water!!
Unbelievable!!
The pictures that follow do not do complete justice to the spectacular splendour of these waters...
In fact..we have only posted about 5% of the pictures we have taken.
Our main destination was Pendrell Sound, which branches off from Waddington Channel and nearly divides East Redonda Island in two. It has the warmest waters of the Sound with temperatures reaching as high as 25 C (80F) all summer and is ripe with oysters and mussels.
If picture tells a thousand words, we hope these will dictate 2000.
This mother is giving her kids swimming lessons, and apparently one was too tired to swim...
This is a typical picture of our day today....
