On Feb 20th, we celebrated the end of 2 years (and the start of our 3rd year) on the road. We still pinch ourselves and wonder how we got so lucky to be able to do this-yes, it's still fun!
Feb 22nd was the day we met 16 years ago, so cause for more celebration.
The kiosk here in the park opened a resturant on Wednesday night, so we chose to do our celebrating there, then. The owners met when he was a long haul truckie across the Nullarbor to Perth and she managing a roadhouse-the food and atmosphere of the restaurant are just like a roadhouse too! Still it was cheap (1 dozen oysters natural $12), cheerful, clean and lots of fun.
We've been managing to get out fishing and crabbing every couple of days. Last night we cooked ourselves beer battered whiting fillets (bought the chips from the kiosk) and a couple of nights ago, oven baked garlic crab legs.
We caught ourselves 10 blue swimmers, put them to sleep, pulled their main claws off and cracked them gently. I made a very garlicky butter, oil, salt and pepper mix, then brushed and poured it over them and baked them in our oven. They were amazing and I can't wait to catch some more crabs. We also keep pinching ourselves re the great food we get to eat in our travels.
The boat hasn't missed a beat since we called the mechanic-I'm really happy about that.
