Day 41. Boat Harbour day 4 – Sunday








Today was chosen to be a quiet day, but it did start early. Adrienne wanted to take a photo of the sunrise from Boat Harbour beach, which faces east. She and Joanne left for the beach a little before 7am while it was still dark. Her favourite photo from this morning is attached.

Today is the first cloudy day since we have been here. The wind was also up which made the place cold. Our overnight minimum was 5degC and the maximum 12degC.

We hung around the house for the morning. Adrienne and Joanne took the opportunity to walk down Mackenzies Road to the beach. Photos 2 to 5. Brendan spent the morning quietly working. I did a little web surfing looking for a tool to splice leather transmission belting.

For lunch we went to Jolly Rogers Restaurant at Boat Harbour beach. Photos 6 to 7. The restaurant was on the beach and the clear plastic walling to their marquee allowed us full view of the sea shore whilst being protected from the bitterly cold, howling wind. Believe it or not the local Surf Lifesaving Club held rubber ducky practice during our lunch. After lunch was a time for nanna naps for the nannas. Brendan and I continued where we left off this morning.

This evening Joanne and Brendan treated us to a wonderful home cooked honey marinated chicken dinner. Delicious.
