It has finally happened, the laid back Queensland thing has finally kicked in for The Deckie and her brain has stopped working at its best capacity. In our last post, it was mentioned that Team Turtle was heading north to Conway Beach. Well Conway Beach is down near Airlie Beach (which would have had us heading south) but Team Turtle was heading to Cowley Beach! Didn't mean to confuse people!
Cowley Beach is definitely a beautiful spot and we managed to get a lovely big camp spot right next to the reserve that leads to the beach - about a 10 metre walk. We had reasonable weather the first couple of days so we were able to get Tuf Tinnie into the creek and try the fishing and mud-crabbing caper. Fishing not so good, mud-crabbing reasonable considering we only put the traps in over two nights and that we only have two traps left.

| Being Careful! |
And because it was the Long Weekend, the weather became inclement - as it normally does. It blew a gale and it rained off and on for about three days but it wasn't cold. The temperature must have remained in the mid 20's for the entire weekend. Consequently, the boating had to remain on hold.
To liven things up a little bit we awoke one morning to find that we had been invaded.

| Warships Off The Beach |
War Games had begun at the nearby Defence Department Training Area. There have been helicopters buzzing around, huge trucks up and down the road, convoys rattling in and landing craft backwards and forwards to the ships in the bay. Good stuff !
Apart from that it has been very, very quiet. Not to worry as we don't need too much excitement but a few more fish would be nice.
