Stokes Bay, Stanley Island
21 July 2011
Tuesday the wind magically disappeared nearly as quickly as it had appeared. We woke to 8knts of breeze and mild gusts to 20knts which was a pleasant surprise after yet another lumpy night with 40nkts strong winds. Fast to come - fast to go as they say! With the conditions looking good we quickly headed for Flinders and Stanley Islands only 13NM north. What a pleasant little spot we discovered. The afternoon was spent throwing the net for bait fish from the sandy shore, eating oysters from the rocks, fishing from the reef and all while enjoying the company of our good friends from Illusion. This is more like what we saw on the glossy brochures!
