The next leg of the journey begins with the first step.

This step, although only a little 5 Nm one from the marina to Fisherman’s Bay was enough to start the process and give me time to prepare for what was ahead.

You meet a lot of great folks in Marinas and the livin’ is easy… so the song goes. What isn’t present in a Marina is the peace and quiet of the sandy crescent beach or the beautiful clear water I was looking at now anchored in Fisherman’s Bay. Its a really pretty spot, the peace is almost deafening and I had it practically all to myself.

Not much luck with the fishing so far. The snook trolling line didn’t produce even one fish! Guess I’ll have to lower my expectations a little.
So, the snook had an off day… what about my cheap and cheerful squid jig?? It’s been in the water for an hour and a half and not a single movement… bugger!!

Looks like seafood is off the menu tonight and I’ll just have to settle for Red Curry Tai Chicken instead.
Ho hum…. that’s life in paradise.

Tomorrow I’ll head down to Whalers Bay on Thistle Island. Another short hop but a strategic one as I can shelter there from the South Westerly gale predicted to hit this area tonight.

Who knows? I might even catch a fish or jig a squid…. ha

Cheers
