We have had internet connection problems for the last week but all seems to be well now so I am going to share some photos from our trip to Open Bay just over a week ago. In fact, I am going to do it in several posts just in case internet drops out!

The boat trip down was just perfect – a clear sunny day with VERY calm seas. Only took us three hours. The Open bay manager’s cook was on the boat with us and it was so calm she slept most of the way!!!

I had to buy a hat for the trip – and this was the only wide brim hat available – at least it gave me better protection than a cap and I didn’t get sunburnt. The hat was much too big for me and kept slipping down over my eyes!!! Nick had the one that he bought in the Vietnam markets!

When we arrived at Open Bay there was a small welcoming committee for us!!

The boat trip home was a bit different! Started out nice and calm and when we spotted a whole lot of birds and fish jumping from the water in a feeding frenzy, the boat boy even threw in a line as we circled around the action a few times. Alas! no fish were caught – perhaps the strips of white plastic bag didn’t make such a good lure afterall!

However, about an hour into the trip we hit rain – and bigger seas – no photos – too wet and windy! Because it was rougher we even had to make a stop to refuel and the trip took over four hours.
Will share more about our activities while we were at Open Bay in separate posts
