22.. Point Samson

So at the last stop, I’d expressed the lack of reading material.. so I wanted to download some books but didn’t get around to that one. And well the laptop is a little big for reading in bed, and the phone just that bit too small, tablet is kinda just right but hubby using that for plotting course (so he needs that one) .. he offered to get me another but hhhmm not sure I really need it … when he got back with 5 of the top magazines for the month, he didn’t realise how expensive they were…lol.. last time I’ve read any of these magazines are in the doctors office when waiting which hasn’t been for some time now ..years in fact… so I’ve been immersed in the latest gossip of the stars and royals.. what a load of codswallap… holy moly , I realise why I never pay good money for these things.. gheezz louise… where do they did up all this shite… lol but these things are easy reading, in bed on a rough day of motoring along the waves…huge waves I’m told … even not so huge ones… it depends on many things… the wind, the tide, the wave height, the current (or sultanas) and the general directions of all .. my muscles are getting a work out just keeping me upright , or in the case of the bed, keeping me on the bloody thing lol.. hence why I am now insisting on nightly stops.. the last few have been fun, get out the fishin gear and hope for dinner..
First night I got both of us dinner … a snapper and a bream.. from the same family just cousins.. the next night I was up there again but my back and feet just did not like me that day , so I came back down and off to bed early…the only thing the boys caught was a very poisonous parrot fish and a shark .. back they go ..
And last night , lots of little bites but nothing caught.. and a sighting of a turtle, cool bananas … he stuck his little head up out of the waves like he was looking for his bearings … then just as hubby was getting his phone all set up … the turtle backed up a tad and dived back under the waves to the deep… so chuffed just to see it …
But alas no fish… at the moment we are motoring along, bouncing around .. have been for some hours now .. got about another 1½ hours to go to shelter, hopefully.. from the big waves anyway… then another fishing for dinner .. its lots of fun …we’ve already caught some bait … a dogfish tuna …
