Fishing was the order of the day this morning so off we went to fish in the same spot Andrew caught a few good whiting yesterday – guess what no fish, well no keepers anyway. Bob from Kinta got two nice whiting and two good bream. I wondered where he was sneaking off to? While we were fishing it poured with rain and we got soaked, worse still we left our hatches open a tiny bit for ventilation and as this was the strongest rain we had had we got water inside. My side of the bed is wet, wet, wet and some water ended up under our computers, fortunately they seem OK and the galley had a bit of water on its floor too. So we have learnt a lesson, don’t leave the hatches open even a tiny bit if rain is even a remote possibility. We ended up with 12 people aboard Phlat Chat for morning tea, which started at about 1230 and finished about 1415. Chris and I then had lunch about 1500. We ate yesterday’s flathead for lunch, it was beautiful. We have a little whiting left for tea – which will just be a snack as drinkies are on Tack Z Evasion tonight. It is raining non stop now and Chris has rigged up a water catcher and of course it works a treat (I was not that confident) just a little funnel on the coach house roof with a bit of piping. So far we have filled three buckets and the solar shower bag. We’ll have to disconnect it soon as we will run out of buckets. Chris is delighted with this new source of fresh water so she can keep cleaning, her favourite pastime.
