Although we didn't have the predicted winds the rain was very heavy in the night. The skies were still grey when we set off for Bunbury and on the way we had several very heavy rainstorms. We met up with the rellies and went for dinner at a restaurant called Noovoh (what a good pun) right opposite the sea. My meal was delicious although Mick wasn't so keen on his seafood linguine.

The weather has cooled down a lot and it was still cloudy today. We spent today relaxing, having coffee and muffins at Muffin Break and then dinner in Fremantle. The cases are packed ready for our flight tomorrow to Alice Springs. The temperature there could be 41C. Phew!! Will let you know when we arrive.

Hence the glass reflection! They went about 35miles from shore to pull the pots out and then bait them and put them back. They pulled out 98 pots with an average of 10 crays per pot. You can work out the maths. Only 4 in 10 are legal to bring ashore. They had cray fish for lunch which ...
