Well the day started out early for Steve, Sarn and Samantha. The three hit the road to try out their luck. They went out on the lake and then headed out to the Big Ocean. Steve said it was a great experience, on that he had been looking forward to for a long time. The waves were a little high and the temperature a little cool, but the trip was so much fun. Steve was able to catch 3 fish---only one was a keeper, but the pictures he took were great. The rest of us girls decided to stay home and enjoy the day. Carrissa was not filling well (we think she was cutting a few more teeth). Ella & I baked a cake and I made banana bread. As you can tell we are eating ... read more

Sunday was a great day. We had a huge breakfast. (Bacon, eggs, toast, & more) Before noon Sarn was putting more food out on the table. There was cheese's and dry biscuits (cracker), olives stuffed with tomatoes, olives stuffed anchovies,and a sasuage meat. Around noon Juliet and Judy Sarn's aunt and friend came over.

The weather was lovely when I left Narooma but as I headed south the clouds rolled in and it started to rain again. On the way to Lakes Entrance I stopped off at Eden, only because the name sounded nice. It turned out to me another sleepy fishing port but was a good excuse to top up my caffeine and chocolate muffin levels. While sat in the café on the dock I was watching the pelicans who themselves were attentively watching the fishermen for any scraps that might be coming their way. As more fishermen came into port more and more pelicans were turning up. In the air they seem so graceful, effortlessly gliding their massive bodies on the wind currents. Perfectly balanced, until they come into land. Once the decision has been made to come ... read more
