Very windy when we woke this morning, had our cup of coffee in bed and went to check the beach and boat launching area.

There are 2 dunes between our camp and the beach so it was a bit of good excersise to start the day. 

During the night I could hear waves crashing on the reef when we got to the top of the dune seeing the waves breaking on the reef with the sun reflecting on them made them look awesome.

Down on the beach the tide was so high we couldn't walk along the beach, we had to back track and walk down another path to the launch area.

When we got there, wow the tide was so high it was coming up the road like a river, there was no chance of launching a boat so we walked around met other people and had some good chats, back for breakfast 10.30.

When we were finished breakfast we put the finishing touches to our setting up then went for another walk.

The tide had gone out a bit, there was 2 men trying to build barriers with old tyres and weed to hold the water back as when it comes in like that it really floods the lower areas.

We had lunch and a bit of rest then Merv took a rod and a couple of lures, we walked to one end of the beach with Merv wading and trying for a fish, no fish just a lost lure, the tide was quite low, tomorrow he is going to snorkel and try to get the lure back.

By late afternoon the wind has dropped a lot but we are expecting rain and possible thunder storms tomorrow
