Today was a little cooler and more overcast than yesterday with predicted winds later in the afternoon, but it would be hard to expect two perfect days on the Windy Always coast, during the windiest month of what has been the windiest season.
The sunrise was was beautiful and Scarly and I enjoyed breakfast with a view. We explored the rocks just out the front of our campsite and did some water painting to pass the morning while it warmed up.
The corellas watched us closely and when Jazzy tried to shoo one it absolutely screamed and screeched and pulled out its wings. Definitely don’t want to mess with that one!
We waited for the clouds to blow over, but instead some more arrived and before we knew it, it was drizzling, so we decided we might as well not waste anymore time and instead hop in the water.
All the girls wanted to go paddle boarding, so I had the big girls at the front with Scarly against my legs as we went searching for turtles. We spotted a few, even though not as quickly as yesterday… the big girls would jump in for a snorkel and then come back to get a ride after.
Chris joined us in the water and saw a sting ray and a sea snake amongst all the action. The girls weren’t too keen on jumping in the water for either of those, though.
Once everyone started getting a bit cold, we headed back to shore and I jumped in for a quick snorkel. It took a while to get to the first turtle, but when we did it was absolutely huge! I reckon the shell would have been the size of Scarly.
The rest of the afternoon consisted of hanging with neighbours, enjoying a drink and the kids exploring with their friends. They loved their little pack!
