Unhuggable Teakerne Arm.

Our morning round of traps yielded 12 prawns that I flash froze, and 3 crab traps filled with the biggest starfish I've ever seen!
Before leaving Grace Harbor we went slip-sliding our way along a trail to the nearby lake and saw two garter snakes, some fat slugs and a small frog as well as numerous fallen trees covered in moss... according to the book I've just finished reading, "The Language of Flowers" by Vanessa Diffenbaugh, moss represents maternal love... so close to Mother's Day it felt significant!
Teakerne Arm proved a challenge to us - the winds were blowing hard, the seas were choppy, the waterfall was beautiful but we weren't comfortable with our anchorage... eventually upped anchor and moved to a more protected,less dramatic cove and loved it!
The prawn traps were set before we went to bed - we're on a mission!
