Wednesday ....9 June

Very productive day today. Cleaned and tidied the van, which I  had been led to beleive was going to be moved just a few feet today to make way for the building project to continue. Did not happen. Seems the workers decided to have a day off today. Either they hurt all over or they  hurt all over and had feelings of unwellness following a late late night on the back patio!!!! We girls supervised new curtains being delivered and installed and continued beading classes with great success and two new items added to the ever growing pile of completed necklaces, bracelets and ear rings. Later in the day we took a lovely walk to the lookout at the beach and sat and watched several boats coming and going along the sea/river. Even got to see a boat get to the mouth of the river from the sea and do a "go around". For whatever reason they changed their mind and did a complete circle and came back at the entrance from a slightly different angle. Wondered if perhaps it was a learner at the helm? The second attempt to enter the river mouth was text book perfect so well done whoever it was. On the river was one fellow paddling a kayak with a fishing rod trawling behind the kayak. He was fishing in the entrance channel and had to paddle like fury every time a boat came in from the sea. When they come in they sit just outside the mouth of the river until the waves and swirls and eddies are just so, then they gun the motor and barrel through the opening like a rocket, hence our kayakers need to paddle fast out of their way. One wonders on the mentality of someone who would be silly enough to fish smack bang in the middle and at the entrance to a major marine channel, knowing that the fishing fleet are likely to be returning to port around that time. Still it is nice to just sit in the sea breeze and watch the sea in all its magnificence. And occasionally we meet up with other nomads and exchange the time of day and get another outlook on the weather or the lifestyle.
