Ladies Bay to Fortescue Bay

Crew up at 7.30 ,blew a bit during the night,New snubber kept the anchorchain quiet.
Cruised around to under the Golf Club to pull the pots ,first one a blank,second one a just size so a taste for lunch.
Steamed down to the bottom end of Safety Cove for breakfast,Bruce cooked up a Bacon and Eggs breakfast.
Got under way at about ten ,Bruce learned what Backwash was going across Haines Bight to the Tasman Island Passage,25 knots of wind and 4 meter seas,arced her up and was running down the waves at 20 plus knots.

Not too bad after getting through the cut.Most of the fleet stayed put in PA.
Had a fish under the seals in Monroe Bight.Caught a variety of fish but no stripes.Eventuall got blown off so steamed up to the head of the bight and anchored,fished off the boat but no luck,only one nice Flathead.The wind now quite fresh coming off the cliffs.

Cooked the cray and had lunch,baited the pots and set them in a favorite spot,noticed a lot less weed on the sounder though.

Went up into Fortescue to see if we could get the cricket station on tv,got every thing but so steamed over to Canoe Creek for the night,still a bit of wind about but sheltered there.
Three other VDL’s there.

Had dinner and turned in early.
