Awesome Fishing Trip

Friday morning, it was again up at 5am for a walk along the beach, quick shower and breakfast before ensuring that the children were organised and the car packed. At 7.30, Lisa [a work friend of Rachel's] arrived and we were off.

We arrived at the marina and put sunscreen on whilst we waited for our boat driver.  [unbeknown to us, he was already on the boat but a quick phone call sorted that out and we were off on our adventure.

First stop was a bit of dolphin watching. We spotted a pod and followed them but they were a bit fast for the camera.

Next stop was fishing for bait. The boys did us proud [won't mention my efforts or the fact that I only succeeded in getting the line tangled and losing the sinker]. With 9 little fish, we set off to catch the big one.

                                       

Cameron did us proud. Lot of work though.

One big fish for dinner was enough, so we headed off to the reef, where the boys had another go at fishing.

Time was nearly up and we still wanted to do scuba diving so we left the fishing and headed closer in to a beautiful spot with a lovely reef. Had a fantastic time and really wished we had an underwater camera. Just beautiful.

It was all over too quickly and we headed back to the marina.

After a slight problem getting our car out [someone had parked in front of us] we went back home for a quiet afternoon. Maria came and helped Cameron fillet the fish and we had lovely fish and chips for tea.
