Monday 26 May
Headed north again to Moon Point. Motoring along in the early morning, I was treated to the fantastic sight of a dolphin leaping about 20 feet in the air and then coming down with an almighty splash in the shallows. I imaged he was trying to stun fish or he could have been just happy. Arrived at Moon Point and though I’d have a fish for whiting but all I caught were small reef fish. Persisted and caught a couple of Venus tusk fish that made size .Had sashimi for lunch with soy sauce, wasabi and black pepper, superb. I still had enough fillets left over for a feed at dinner. Continued making my way north towards Wathumba Creek. Great run at a steady 5 knots. Ran out of daylight so threw the pick out for the night. I now was in Platypus Bay ,at the northern end of Harvey Bay, where the whales come every year .I’m only 3 months early. Fantastic sunset across the bay.
