Coral Bay 2008

Back for the third time. The park is full so lots of tents, caravans and motor homes. We set up, got the boat and trailer organised then went for a walk to the other park to visit our friends Ron and Irene. It was lovely to catch up with them and see them both looking so well.

Last night the power went out twice-once as we were cooking dinner and the second time as we were eating. Trouble was, the power didn't come back on until 7am this morning. I was starting to get anxious for all our meat and dairy foods we bought in Exmouth to come here and the freezer, but it was a chilly 6c over night so all was OK.

The New Boat Launching Facility!!!


Today we had an early lunch then headed out fishing. We used to launch the boat off the beach across the road from here, but now have to drive a few kilometres out of town to the new boat ramp. It's a very flash affair and makes getting out of the no fishing zone very fast.The fish were a bit scarce, but it was beautiful out there (as usual). We were fishing in 3 metres of water over sea grass when we spotted two dugongs sunning themselves really close to the boat. They hung around for quite a while.
