For the past, almost week, we have spent at Middle Lagoon out from Beagle Bay on the Dampier Peninsula. We have fished, swum, whale watched, read, relaxed and rejuvenated ourselves - both in body and mind. Mind you it is a bit of an effort to get to this place but the effort is well worth it in this little slice of heaven.
Today we have taken to tour up to the furthest most point of the peninsula and Cape Levique, Lombadina, Bardi are just a few of the communities that inhabit this neck of the woods. I'm actually writing this as I sit having a drink outside the general store in Lombadina.
Denis met up with a fellow who has been at Middle Lagoon since June and has been fishing practically every day. He offered to take Denis out to catch a Spanish Mackerel, which Denis duly took up. Many hours later they returned, with Spanish Mackerel, Blue striped Emperor and others.
I spent hours on the point one day watching the many (and I mean many) whales pass by the point. Some even put on grand displays of acrobatics, with breaching many times only about 400 mts from the point. Mothers, babies all on their way back to Antarctica for the summer months.
I actually went out in the boat with Paul the other day and although we didn't actually get to take home fish we had some fun with big ???? fish, taking all the tackle and bait several times. Then on catching a small fish happened to see a BIG shark follow it in. That was enough for me thanks, you can take me home now!
Well it is time to move, so until we next talk - see ya!
