Strahan Yacht Cruise

We went back to Strahan at the Caravan park for the usual, battery charge, water, showers and laundry. Man it is good to have a shower again with hot water and stuff. In the afternoon we walked into town to have a couple of beers at the pub and a some cricket on the TV. I’m not sure why I put myself through this pain cause there is not much excitement to watch the Aussies play at the moment. While we were at the pub a Biker group lobbed up with some 50 Harleys arriving. OK if you like Harleys but I suppose there were some nice bikes there. We walked back to the caravan park it has cooled down a fair bit. We feasted on Salmon fillets that night before the rain set in. First time we used the tent and of course it rains.


We awoke to persistent rain which we were quite worried about. We packed up after breakfast and headed to the town centre to check if our yacht cruise was still on. We headed off on the Yacht “Stormbreaker” and sailed down the harbour. The rain had stopped and it was quite warm again. We sailed out to an island and had a beautiful crayfish lunch. We tried some fishing using some old fashioned hand lines. No luck so we moved spots. The Harbour is so calm and mist is coming out of the Gordon river into the harbour. Tina caught a cod which she was very pleased about and that was about the only fish landed. It was a pleasant afternoon spent talking to new people and discussing the worlds woe’s.
