Another day another weather check, cloudy not as cold and not quite as windy.

Same morning routine with the walk to the wharf, people fishing from the wharf catching nothing, the very big prawn trawlers are in unloading with huge amounts that have been boxed up and frozen sent off the boat on conveyor belt, then put on pallets and into the waiting semi trailer freezer trucks.

Merv made a loaf of bread then after having coffee and a feed of fruit loaf we went out to Cossack.

The sun had come out the wind had dropped it was a beautiful day.

As we arrived ar the Cossack jetty a man had hooked up a large estuary cod, as he got it away from the mangroves and to the jetty area it went straight into a hole in the rocks that the jetty is made from. It was so funny watching this guy and his mate, the one with the rod was getting his mate to walk into the water and try to get it out, the water there is very cold at the moment so that part was funny to see the antics. They were trying to pull the cod out and he asked for a stick so Merv went and got a gaff from the truck unfortunately they broke the line just as he got back.

There is some camping areas at Cossack, Settlers Beach, not much but would be nice for a couple of days the downside is there are lots of sandflies, the upside is the beach it is on would be a good one to cool off in but would be great beach fishing.

That night Josie cooked a dinner one dish Thai and one Indonesian both served with rice and vegetables with satay sauce, so delicious just thinking about it makes me gain weight.

When we had cleaned up it was the standard rowdy UNO game
