It was a sunny morning and the breezes were light and out of the west. We pulled anchor at 7:00 am and headed for an anchorage behind Hotham Island near the LaCloche Mountains where we arrived at 10 am. The spot we tucked into already had three sailboats and three power boats at anchor, but there was room for more so we motored all the way into the cove and dropped our anchor in about 5 feet of water. As usual, the water was very clean, clear and cool. We talked to some “old friends” and met some new ones as we toured the area in our dinghy before lunch.
After a nice afternoon nap, everyone was outside on deck: Gale working on the dinghy, Maureen reading a book and Lucy continuing her nap. Lucy started sniffing and making some noise and when we looked to the shore, we saw a black bear on the rocks. He gave us a look, Lucy barked at him and he disappeared into the bushes before we could get a picture. Gale and Lucy decided to try to take the dinghy out to catch some fish while Maureen stayed on Blue Heron and enjoyed reading her novel. The fishing expedition was unsuccessful this time, so we thawed the fish we’d purchased in Killarney and added a salad for a late dinner.
