Thursday the 22nd of November... I was up early for my walk, trying to beat the heat, it was still hot but much more bearable. I arrived back in time to wake the boys who were heading out on a fishing charter, in a last ditch attempt for Jack to catch his Barra.
By 7:30 they were gone and Nina and I were left to our own devices. Yipeee.... just the girls!
Our day didn't consist of too much other than painting our nails, going to the hair dresser, making play dough, making dinner and having an afternoon nap. It was blissful.
By 5 o'clock the boys were home.... I'll let Jack tell the rest of the story....
Dad, Harry and I left early....

We travelled 60 kilometers from Derby and when we got there we saw the man unhitch the trailer. It was a steep ramp into the water so he tied a snatch strap from the trailer to the car and dropped the boat in...

When we got going we had a trawl in a Billabong but got nothing...
...so we trawled down to as far as we could go then the Charter man, whose name was Richard, had to get out of the boat and push it because the boat got stuck on the bottom, Dad also got out to help, there were crocs everywhere.

When we got across we had another flick off the boat and we got nothing. On the way back up the river Harry got a hit and hooked a Barra and it started to jump and when he got it in the boat I really felt horrible, because Harry caught another Barra and I still needed to catch one and we didn't have much time left.

Harry threw the Barra back and I was just about to give up, when I got a hit. At last I had hooked a Barra and when I got it in I had a photo with him and I gave him a kiss....

I threw him back and I was so happy when we got the boat on the trailer we drove home and told Mum.
The end
