Swimming off the boat. The water was suprisingly warm. There were some jellyfish to avoid but all part of the fun.
As with all Dough and Claudia outings, the food was splendid and we did little but eat. Each couple was responsible for a day. Ally excelled with her Yoghurt and Cumin Lamb and prawns wrapped in pancetta ham on the barbie. Went down like a house on fire.
What would a boat trip be without a leap from the boat.
On our final night, we had a Bond night were we dressed up in "costumes" and played poker. Guess who cleaned up? Yes, Ally!! She's quite the poker player and spent the evening accumulating everyone's chips.
Ally and me in our Bond outfits. Can you see my bow tie?
And here is the whole group. We had an enormous boat, equipped for ten people, so were spoiled with lots of space.
Relaxing on the beaches along the river.
We all did a fair amount of fishing. But only Dan caught any fish - 7 of the blighters!! What we were all doing wrong is anyone's guess.
These crabs only have one claw each. Who needs two hands when one will do.
All her fish catching made Dan very popular with the local pelican.
Beautiful it was.
Doug trying hard.
Beautiful sunsets.
Ally's new T-shirt - a present from the Fletchers.
And my boogey board - a Xmas present from Ally. Perfect colour and message for Bondi Beach!
Driving the boat was a lot of fun. Had to be particularly careful aiming through the bridges.
A very cheeky jump in the lake by Dan. Needless to say, she was a lot of fun...
