West Coast Day 138 - Kalbarri to Perth

ExplorOz - David & Michelle

This morning we awoke to our first overcast and drizzly day of the trip - so we slept a little longer! Around 9am when we finally did get up the sun was beginning to shine and a slight breeze was developing. David has developed a new interest - windsurfing. This is great news for me because hopefully this means I'll soon have someone else to come sailing with me. We had found a man hiring windsurfers at the river for $15/hr and David was adamant about hiring one today. But first, we went fishing. Around 1pm we returned to the caravan park to prepare some lunch and collect David's wetsuit. We only had to cross the road to the board hire place. David was very successful at his first day on the water - within the hour he was able to perform a few wobbly tacks, and even got the board planning (with just a few instructions from the shore). I was very impressed but unfortunately didn't have the camera to take any evidence of his amazing feats.

After yet another evening of no success with fishing - David has decided he hates Kalbarri and we are leaving tomorrow to go somewhere with even better windsurfing - Geraldton.
