NINJAs go fishing ... but they are not so ninja at catching anything!

Lachlan - 13 undersize fish, including 3 puffer fish

Dave - 2 grunter and a sole

Ella - half a large snub-nosed dart

Jackson - one yellow fin bream and a squid jig

Marcus - half a snub-nosed dart, a bait fish (thrown into the air) and (debatable) 2 octopus which let go when they were near shore

Kerrie - zilch (lack of effort)

Rugby Final day, Sunday, was a rest day. Time for Monopoly, reading, fishing and of course, the Rugby. Fortunately the All Blacks were victorious, as Dave had threatened to jump into Dynamite Bay if they didn't win. And I still can't reverse the caravan. Not that I'm trying to. Why have a dog and bark yourself? Ella finished Harry Potter 5 with a whoop and a cheer, so the mispronunciations and the "Harry is in big trouble" come to an end for a while.

Storm heading our way while fishing

Monday was much the same, with more unsuccessful fishing. Although we did see a sea lion, his whiskery face peering at us (laughing, I think!) before he disappeared under the waves. We also saw a huge ray swim past before the storm hit and we bolted back to camp.

Ella and I retired to the tent to listen to the rain pitter patter while the boys crowded around the computer screen to watch the Rugby, posted online 24 hours after the match. No-one has missed having a TV with the exception of missing the live Rugby coverage!

Rodred the Thin in action

Our last day of R&R, Tuesday, was similar again. We decided to attempt to catch a fish one more time, although Jackson was happy to stay with his Lego programme on the computer. We went to the same headland, hoping to see some more sea lions, but no luck. An enormous ray swam past again, bigger than the last one. Marcus was excited to have two octopus on his line, but both times the octopus came in close and then let go of the bait, sending a disgusted jet of water at Marcus up the cliff!

We were enjoying the fishing but again the rain set in. That fly we bought for the tent is getting a good work out. Our timing of the purchase couldn't have been better.

Looks like it will be our first wet pack up to depart for Perth tomorrow.

Stay tuned ...
