The yachts getting underway,heard Bill got a couple of size fish and was suitably pleased!
Trolled around the Point to Nelson Cove,turned out to be a beautiful little anchorage ,flat calm sheltered by Bird Island.It is in the anchorage guide and was recommended also by Guy Grinning.
Had morning tea and cooked the crays.An advantage having a bit of speed as there is no hurry to get some miles early in the day,we intended to have another night on the coast.
Nelson Cove behind Bird Island.Conditions more like the Duck Pond.
Made our way across Spero Bay and had a look in Endeavour Bay and then to Christmas Cove for lunch.Still no wind to speak of.The day picking up with some blue now showing through the clouds.After lunch we went into Hartwell Cove for a look and then out round High Rocky Point and down to Accacia Rocks,gave the Mainwaring River a miss as we had a night in there on a previous trip.
Christmas Cove,entrance to the Wanderer River.
Went in behind The Shank with the intention of having a night there,With very little swell it did not look too inviting to me and as we were not desperate decided to give it a miss.Cray boats lay there when there is a Westerly blow on I have heard.There are underwater reefs at both ends to offer shelter from the swell,the only problem is if it gets too bad you cannot get out as the seas break right across the bay and over the top of the rocks,covering the sheltering boats with spray.I have seen a photo of a boat in such conditions ,it sure must have been a nightmare situation!
The Shank,not very inviting,waves break right over it they say.
Went back out through the rocks and around Low Rocky Point to Nye Bay and set the net for bait and then the pots on the outlying Reef.
Anchored at the entrance of the Giblin River for the night,heard later in Port Davey from Bill the rest were going in there but got a shock when suddenly found the bottom came up quickly in the middle of the bay and decided to press on to Brambles.
