Full moon at Memory Cove


This is the neighbourhood.
Here is a new neighbour

Sunset over Memory Cove

We wish we could share photos of the moon-rise. A huge tangerine that first illuminated some loose cloud over a hill before revealing itself in all its splendor. To top it of,f a couple of seals began slurping through the bay, splooshing and splashing as they arced in and out of the water. They are so quick, and in the dark it's not possible to get a snap to share. It's even hard to photograph them in the daylight!

The next morning the Bloke had me topside pretty promptly as the wind, now from the north and the tide now out, was giving us only a little clearance beneath. All or neighbours were off to convene with the Riviera Rally in another bay closer to Lincoln. The Riviera's will form a chevron led by the biggest Riviera and the smallest ones trailing behind. That rally will be at it's crescendo over at Reevesby Is. over at 'The Group' - the final destination and we are told that when the MV Tacoma (a boat of historic significance here) arrives, there will be a live band and celebrity chefs. We can pass on that gathering. Imagining transom to transom blue underwater lights, spotlights and gen sets burbling away all night.... Aaghh, the serenity!!



Daily 08:30 visit from the Dive with Sharks tour... Hope that's not prophetic for this bay!


Water sports begin early for shore campers. A bit more sensible than yesterday

We salute our LAST bottle of 85c wine from Sandy and Hud's neighbour

This hardy fellow arrived at dusk with 2 pals. They slept on the beach and he swam out to the boat at dawn to go fishing while the pals slept in.  Mad Irishman! Brrrrrr. The Bloke made him a coffee.

Some history on a display board on the beach

The sad tale of Master Thistle, Midshipman Taylor and the others


Apparently the Bloke is waiting for me

Adjusting the rig so we could catch herring - YUM

These guys were catching herring at dusk too - different technique though!
