Seisia (Loyalty Beach) 20/09/12–21/09/12 [2] Rest Days

 

Dot & Michael take off to the Seisia pier, whilst Tony & Jenny walk the coast to the supermarket.  The pier was building up with young fellows and their girls -  they all looked experienced fisherman.

The underside of the pier was a moving carpet of bait fish  [ 5” –6” long].    The experience group had a drop net and hauled in plenty of fresh bait for everyone….they had an aerator to maintain oxygen in the water and changed the water regularly..

Michael managed to get a couple of strikes, however the good sized fish were very acrobatic in the air and twisted off the hook.  A few fish were caught, including a 5 foot leopard shark, and one young woman caught a good sized  trevally which was then taken by a bull shark.

Back to camp and then pickup repaired tyre……captured market up here…$50.00!!!!!!!!!

Attempt to stay out of the heat for the afternoon and watch the “wild horses”  return….hopefully there not here tonight…

The four of us  are about to head to the beer garden on the beach for a late afternoon refresher.  Afterwards we sit on the bank beside the beach (in front of our tent)and watch the sunset.

Next day.

Had a dreadful evening a bunch of ‘pricks’ (Tony’s word – I would have said yobs) camped next to us yesterday.  We didn’t like the look of them from the start.  They kept us awake with loud chatting, laughing, bursts of music and foul language until 1:45 AM.  Not happy.  Tony complained to the management and they have been down to talk to them.  We will see what happens tonight.

Today was a day for washing, packing etc., we leave here tomorrow, Tony is talking about driving for 580 kms approx. tomorrow,  Michael hopes he gets a good night’s sleep tonight.  We are having tea at the restaurant in the camping ground tonight.
