Atop each of the 2 poles at the boat ramp was a crested tern - they looked like sentries.
These fellers are spectacular when they dive into the water at full speed after a fish.
We went up toward the power station first and into a small creek where we didn't expect to meet anyone. The fishing boat we found there was quite a surprise - reckon they must have made a real effort to get that far in.
I finally got to see what my laker looks like on the water (from outside it) with this pic. It looks like it's pushing a reasonable wave but this was only at an easy cruising speed.
The others had an advantage in speed from being in a double and having decided to go for a bit of a speed session they disappeared while I was fiddling with my fishing gear. Didn't take long to catch up once they eased up though. This shot shows the Laker sitting very level - something I wasn't sure about up til now.
Back out in the inlet we saw some dolphins.
Then it was into the North Arm for a look at the ship's graveyard. This is the most intact of the hulls. The tide was moving fairly strongly through here and there was a lot of turbulence around the wrecks.
We covered about 9km in a bit over 2 hours and with the gentle breeze/sunny conditions it was a very pleasant outing. Once again the Laker drew words of praise both in the car park and out on the water - even the guys in the fishing boat had nice things to say
