Our weather has been almost perfect - unlike many other parts of the country! We have only had a bit of 'drizzle' and it's been a bit breezy every now and then, but nothing like the 'breezes' we had at Robe (70kph), on the weekend of our test camp.
We have had a very relaxing time, but also done a fair bit of physical activity, and seen lots of nature. Coffin Bay is certainly a 'mecca' for all those that love marine life and geography, and water sports.
We have been fortunate enough to do the following:- Canoeing, on a 'glassy' bay (and a lot more scenic than those rowing machines!)
- More fishing! and I kid you not, the 'myth' about catching old boots is TRUE!! Jed hooked in a sandshoe, that by the number of barnacles attached had been there a day or two! (didn't have my camera at the time, so have no evidence, but I can assure you it happened!)
- Driving to Coffin Bay National Park - beautiful beaches, sandhills and lots of rugged coastline. And kids had a swim. We have been told on a few occasions that the temperature of the water in the various bays in the area is about 20 degrees!! Nice! They are fairly sheltered and shallow.
- Bikeriding/Walking to the CB LookOut - which was all smooth sailing until Jon pushed his bike a bit too hard, and broke some of the gear-changing mechanism! Consequently, he had to walk the rest of the way home, we area 3 bike family now and ... we have spare bike parts if anyone needs any!
- Exploring the Eastern side of Coffin Bay area - found a beautiful beach sheltered with a narrow, sandy 'spit', that created a lagoon type swimming area, and I reckon some of this water was about 26 degrees!
- Evening walks - and last night it wasn't enough to be juggling the "marbly" rocks in my thongs, I got the shock of my life to have a long, black, slithery thing, scuttle out of our way, and then ...to top it all off there was a baby brown snake a bit further along. I didn't walk that way this morning!
