24.. Carnarvon

We ducked into a little area early yesterday as the waves were so rough… 9th dec ..so about midday we were in calmer waters… but unfortunately there was no internet so we were unable to see the weather and what the wind and waves were upto for today… so again we have hugged the coast as much as we could with shoals and rocks and coral all the way along the coast line …we were lucky to be able to get into the spot we did , staring at some lime cliffs all after noon while trying to catch some fish was nice upon deck … hubby caught another shark , the only thing we caught and he let it go …
So we started off today for Carnarvon unsure of the waters and well they are huge again, hubby was on full speed for a bit and then had to cut it back to half … for a little bit there we were in slightly better off water but now it seems we are rockin and rollin again … I’ve just finished watching a movie and we are hoping we get into sheltered waters real soon … and coast into Carnarvon.. once we see what the waves are doing we either perch here for a couple of days or head off to Geraldton while we have a good weather window… lets hope so … the wind has been terrible apparently mostly southlies this time of the year so we are fighting the wind most days.. yesterday I saw a heap of clouds and looking through my little windows seemed like we could get a shower of rain …today is quite cloudy ..but it changes so fast you never know whats it gonna be…. Even if windy says its good that can change … most of it I can handle going up and over the waves …it’s the side to side rollers that scare me the most… I like the waves to be a nice 1m or less , the wind to be just moderate and not rolly so I can sit up there and enjoy our cruise around … then slip into a sheltered spot of an evening to enjoy the scenery and a spot of fishing … not too much to ask I thought .. lol
But with the smooth … come some bumpy … and we all know ya can’t just have it smooth … sigh
So did I tell you guys … 9th December is another anniversary of ours… This is the date that Keith arrived from New Zealand with all his stuff packed into one case his computer and what ever else he could fit and came to live with me , marry me and well you all know the rest … so 23 years ago he landed… who would have thought then, that we would be doing this now… lol we should have done it then …
