Nov 22 To Bull River
The cold snap continues. Shirley has now reconfigured her outfit for the day and has compiled a fashionable ensemble comprising of eight layers. From a distance it has a certain style to be admired. But what luck – the driving winds that were still sucking the heat out of every orifice were forecasted to die down. So with a total of 21 layers of family clothing (most of which was also on yesterday) we launched into a new day of the journey. By noon the winds had died down and it began to feel seductively pleasant. Shirley even took a glove off and showed a bit of wrist skin. By late in the day the sun was still brilliant, there was no wind and we pulled into a secluded anchorage on the Bull River. As soon as we had dropped the anchor we spotted a bunch of dolphins splashing around, doing what dolphins do to keep warm. A number of times they came quite close to the boat. Sitting in the cockpit, feet up, knocking back a coke and eating a cracker with a free ‘Marineland’ show going on. Great way to end a day on the water.
