Cape York - Pennefather 22nd May

Cape York Friday 22nd May

Today started with some fishing again. My grandson Cohen caught a beautiful salmon. The one and only for the trip so far. Very proud boy he was. Mid morning, Xavier and Tracey went out on the little tinny we have and the rest went exploring the coast with the four wheel drives. We were in walkie talkie communication with Tracey. She ended up catching 2 mackerel and Xavier caught none. While he was fishing we ended up finding a secluded camp spot that had a set of swings and tables and chairs made of the timber surrounds. Also found a washed up fishing net floater the size of my car. Matthew dragged it behind his ute back to our camp. With this being our third full day my batteries are starting to run down. I don't have enough power to run one fridge and one freezer. Have had to keep the car running for about an hour to allow my on board charger to do its magic. Tomorrow we will be back to a powered camp site where I will re stock on batterycharge. I learnt that in future do NOT take two fridges. We have too much food.

Fishing Nets
Found a camping spot with old fishing nets tied to a bunch of trees. Makes a good makeshift hammock

A swing in the middle of nowhere
Cohen, Mason and Olivia on a tyre swing

Allison too tired to swing
Allison is obviously getting older now. Watching the kids play on the swings and nets. Her birthday must be close as she looked older

Tinny and floater
Here is our Tinny and in the background the fishing float we wound washed up on the beach

Our strong little Jakim
Jakim wanted to help launch the Tinny. Found it a little too hard.

Trying to stay on
Here are the kids trying to stay up on the floater. No success I am afraid.
