Abrolhos-PICS ADDED, JUST GENERAL STUFF
Submitted by Rob H on Fri, 2015-01-09 15:15
heading out tomorrow if we get half a break from the southerlies, for 4 or 5 days with the kids.
Can probably get us on VHF16 (Batavia 108) if anyone else is out?
EDIT, added pics for thos interested, just day to day stuff from 5 days out there.
Havent even tied up and they're off over the side
and thats about it, not much fishing, sharks around the Sthn Group are just ravenous now and struggled to get anything but undersize and charlie courts past them, so we explored and walked instead

Pretty used to the windy
Pretty used to the windy nights out here, solid 30 at the moment.
Tried to have a fish tonite but just swing round to much.
Cray pots out and kids are watching Happy Feet 2 while i enjoy a port in the darkness-love it.
Only 1 camp with a light on on Post Office looks like.
Got a pot in 50cm water next to the boat, already got one cray in. Kids come out with the spotty every 10 minutes to look for more!

That cray is probably the one
That cray is probably the one we dropped back .We got one during a dive but released it next to the jetty as he looked a little sad all by himself.
Still a great place with the wind blowing ,Will be heading to the middle group next time over .Talk when you get back.
