After our big effort yesterday, a day of R&R was required by us all today. We had a sleep in, scrambled eggs for breakfast, caught up on all the washing from the day in the tailing pen and when the tide was right we set off for a fresh feed of pauas.
This time Shane decided instead of swimming out to the right spot he'd bring Cody along in the kayak and let him paddle about out there while he dove for pauas. A first for both of them. Cody has been hankering to do this for a long time and today, conditions were perfect.
So off they set......
After plenty of exploring and digging and climbing and general dirty little boys stuff....
The big boys returned..... drowned.
Shane I knew would be wet from diving, Cody I figured could possibly be wet as Shane had threatened to push him in to show him what to do if he did fall out. Well that was not the case. They had both tipped out and lost everything!! Dive bag, knives, snorkel, mask etc etc.
I kindly did not laugh at them.
Home again, home again....
Very empty handed.
Plan B
to go surf casting, ok, so a quick feed into the stomachs of my great white hunters and off they rode on the motorbike down to cast the rod!! Back home again in 10mins, the problem this time being the sea had suddenly got too rough.
Plan C
off for a hunt, lets go get a deer. So far they have not returned my great white hunters. Lets hope it means they have shot a nice fresh venison and are carting it along ways back out of the bush somewhere ;-)
maybe its one of those 'to be continued' moments
There is no plan D!!
