It had been a while since our last boat outing and last weekend the kids were very keen to go. We were joined by our friends Tony, Lian and their son Luke and as Tony is a keen boatman we went out to the Spit, an island just off the coast which is ideal for swimming and water skiing etc. Very exciting as this was a first for us!
The water on the side of the Spit that we anchor off is not pretty and awashed with plenty of debris but the sea facing side was beautiful with clear waters. Warm with gentle waves, it was perfect for swimming that day.
We were initially helped onto the Spit by a friendly group of campers who were all very welcoming. Thanks to them all and especially to the ladies below who shared drinks, mossie spray etc - no I wasn't very prepared as I didn't anticipate the trip to be more than our usual up the river and back. Thanks again ladies!
After a quick snack of fried rice (from the Yacht club at the last minute) the kids had a ride on Tony's new banana boat which was a huge hit with Iman and Jack. Probably the best boating days we have had. No pressure then for our next trip out!
