Another day in Paradise

The day started beautifully again, if a little late. With the combined effect of daylight saving plus sandhills between us and the rising sun, we didn't get a sunrise until after 7am, but for holidayers, that was perfect.

The morning passed pleasantly, with walks along the inlet and some R&R on board. We walked along 90 Mile Beach (it felt like we walked the full 90 miles but I am assured that wasn't so!) 90 Mile Beach is beautiful, with golden sand, piles of shells dropped by the receding tides and lovely native vegetation along the sandhills. In the distance to the northeast, you can just make out The Entrance at Lakes Entrance. To the southwest, all you can see is beach and sea mist, for miles and miles. The sandhills are well covered, and wildlife abounds, especially birds, but there are wallaby footprints along the inlet and a couple of what looked like wombat digs.

We (well, some of us anyway!) had a swim after getting back to the boat, and then ten minutes later, the forecast wind change came in with a fanfare! We have had a gusty westerly all afternoon, and have spent a pleasant afternoon on the boat, sewing, reading and napping. We have now taken down the boom tent - it has been flapping too hard and noisily, and with the wind forecast to stay through the night, we thought we'd rather take it down than be woken through the night with the wind catching it. A couple of glasses of nice Pinot Noir and our evening is well under way.  I don't think I'll be doing any more sewing, I would just be 'unsewing' again tomorrow! Some radio music and the Kindles are looking good for the evening.
