Spear Fishing Success

A couple of Saturday's ago Clinton, Nathan and Cody took the boat to go spear fishing (Durand was meant to go too but unfortunately had gastro). Clinton has gone spear fishing a few times here but each time he's gone no one has speared anything. Finally the drought is over! Nathan caught the first coral trout and then Clinton caught the second. There is a restriction to 2 coral trout per boat so that was all they were able to spear. They went pretty far out so it took a while to drive the boat back - on the way they saw more whales. The whales were fully breaching out of the water and the boys said they could hear the whale song noises under the water. Clinton loved it!

 Success!

Clinton got home from spear fishing at about 1pm then he left for a service project at 2pm. I got a pedicure at 3.30pm and did some food shopping and then Amy came to babysit for us at 7pm so we could go to the REAF festival where the band Birds of Tokyo were playing (for free). It was really nice of Amy to babysit for us - especially since it was her anniversary that day!! We had a lovely time at the concert and were both impressed by another extremely well organised, free event in Karratha. Clinton said after a day like that in Karratha he can see why people don't ever want to leave....hmmm....
