Friday 23rd.
Still not a great day but have decided to head to Broughton anyway, after we mucked around for a little while in Shoal Bay. I had a dummy spit with the shop assistant (and I use the word “assistant” loosely) at the local IGA store, who needs to learn a little bit about customer service, needless to say I shot myself in the foot because, I didn’t get the extra supplies I thought we needed, but we have plenty and the cupboards will finally get a good clean out. John did some fishing and collected his crab traps which had 2 port jackson sharks caught in them, we’re now calling him “the great white hunter”. The sharks survived the ordeal and happily swam away when he released them.

We’re off!

The picture tells the story!

Harah, we’re finally at Broughton!
It really is lovely here, we’re on the northern side of the island at Providence Bay, which is protected from the south east swell and wind, which was a little strong when we arrived. We explored the beach, walking the length and breadth of it, we all marveled at how clear the water was, and generally Ooo’d and Ahhh’d 😯 about the views. We had dinner on our boat (Gaz and I finally cooked the pork belly we’d been promising and for desert we finished off Sue’s home made ice cream – yum!
