We watched a P&O cruise ship dock this morning and had a real lazy day, read, swim, a bit of blogging, couple drinks. Our quiet day was disrupted when we got new neighbours, 3 adults and 7 kids! We were a little bit worried. 1 adult left and took 2 kids with, that left 5 about 9 year old girls for a camp out birthday party and two adults. My big brave Darl sorted them out though (at 2am) he shone torch on tent and told them it was 2am and time to shut up! With that there wasn't another peep to be heard until 6 o'clock the morning.
Thursday we took the Suzi for a burn over to Gantheume Point on high tide to see if there was any water in Anastasia's pool and there was, so I went for a dip. We had quite an entertaining day actually. It started when old mate called in our camp bout 7.30am, walked up and pulled a Boab out of his pocket, word must be getting around that we are suckers for Boab nuts. Well we only need two nuts so we declined the purchase, but he was a friendly chap and wanted hand shakes, hugs and kisses. Don't know but we seem to attract.
He did ask if we had a beer, said he come from the desert. At Gantheume point these obviously local kids (with BIG gonads!) girls too, where jumping off the rocks. The amazing thing was they had to wait for the right swell before clambering back up the rocks. They were doing somersalts and backflips. Yes, I did have to hold my darl back from joining them. Back home later we watched drama unfold, (front row seat) as a very drunk or high or both, european guy stagger into the water and decide he was going to swim to India. He got a fair way out, having the time of his life, until the cops arranged a rescue boat for him.
Saw him walking the beach this morning, he looked back to normal, more sedate, but he must have been sporting a hangover for sure. Interesting the 3 cops in attendance didn't volunteer to swim out and rescue him, though a long way out, he was only in waist deep water. Finished the day with Staircase to the (full) moon. The photos didn't turn out so I bought a hand painted wine glass instead. Nice feed of Barra for tea! Pic of me at sunset waiting on the rocks for the moon to come up. No drinks and no repellent, both bad moves.
