Wednesday July 24 - Shawl Bay

Side by side - water and Sky

A rainy day - good thing, they all need water up here because like the south coast, rain has been sporadic and everyone will be out of water come August.  These few days of rain is enough to top off some of their wells and creeks where the water is piped into these small resorts, marinas and float home communities.  Will slicker up and head out to check prawn and crab traps.  Perhaps Sushi for dinner tonight?  If not, hamburger is out and it will be spaghetti.

A note to those coming up this year to the Broughtons and that are following this blog.  Jennis Bay should be a "maybe" stop.  The cabins and such at Jennis are filled to brim with loggers and the owner of Jennis Bay has sort of put the boating community on the back burner.  They will take mooring customers, but there is nothing to offer the traveller as neither of the girls are there!  No Cajun night, no truck rides to the lake, no pot luck, no singing......might as well anchor off somewhere.  There is rumour that the caretaker is collecting moorage, but then why would you go all the way in there just to tie to a dock, you can do that anywhere.  The allure of Jennis Bay has always been the people!
