Which reminds me: I busted out the Chucks today. They symbolize how happy we were to be back on dry land after that rollercoaster boat trip today. It was difficult to decide which of my five pairs of Chucks to bring, but I decided on the white ones. I figured they would provide an ideal blank palette from which to collect the Aussie landscape.

Which reminds me: Yes, I rented a fishing rod and lure. And I made about 100 casts from all three anchorages, sometimes using crayfish and sometimes using the lure. And of course I caught ziggety dog donut. Although I did get nibbles and lost my bait about 6 or 7 times.

Of course we watched as some dimwit anchored about 100 feet away from us in Chance Bay caught a huge barramundi (i.e. 26 inches). Barramundi is on just about every seafood menu out here, a flavorful white fish. (But we had steak! Ha!)

Which reminds me: When they were showing us our boat on our first day in Hamilton, the guy asked us at the end if we have any more questions. I said yes, just one: how do you lock the cabin on the boat? There was no way to lock or even shut the door from the bridge to the galley. He just looked at me, shook his head and said, "No worries, mate - you're not in New York anymore."
