After the previous days shocking weather, we decided to have a more relaxing time in Cid Harbour.
We unloaded the paddleboard and Nicholas and Jasmine paddled, and swam, to the beach by themselves which was approx. 200m away. They took with them one of the smaller portable short range UHF radios (to provide us updates on the exciting finds on the beach) and we kept the other UHF radio. After about 1.5hrs they returned... "starving"!
Swimming off the stern of the yacht, reading books, doings diaries and school work filled the rest of the day.
As the sun began to fall, Daddy got out the fishing gear and sat down to do some fishing. Within 3 min he had pulled up a small fish (which he let go) and... then both Nicholas and Jasmine wanted to get into the action. Everyone had huge fun fishing and we managed to pull in 9 small fish of three types.
Jasmine helped pull up one fish and then decided she would be the one to bait the hooks. Nicholas pulled up 4 and Daddy 5. One of the types was a type of large toad fish with a large hard beak for a mouth. One of those toad fish barked like a dog, "Errgg" "Ergg", very loudly, which suprised us all. With care, and some protective gloves, Daddy pulled these off the hooks and we let them all go back into the water.
A good dinner, a show and off to bed.
