After Jeff had spoken to Tane and Kim and chewed the fat about last night's rugby game, we loaded the dogs, fishing gear, seats, sandwiches and thermos and headed out to Lake Ferry to go fishing and walking. As we left town we called into Bronagh and zipped her top up; had a gooey time with Raine.
Called into see Jesse and Sherry and found Kita and Jesse watching a re-run of last night's rugby match. Sherry and Mia were asleep so we headed out to Lake Ferry. A perfect clear blue sky and quite still sea. Hardly anyone else there. When we arrived there was one other vehicle there, a couple of beach buggies went by. After a cup of tea Jeff, and Meg and Skip, headed off to set up his rod and I went to use the long drop! 
Not a pretty site! Stinkeramahh!

headed off downthe beach for a fun 
walk with Meg and Skip having races along the sand. They would be running eye to eye when Skip would do a "Sea Biscuit" and put on even more speed. Not bad for an old dog!

An hour and a half later when we got back Jeff was sitting holding Mia, a bright lollipop sight in her pink top and hat. 
Jesse and Sherry had taken her across in her pram.

Mia was really calm, just listening to the motion of the sea.
Skip, Meg and Pip had fun playing together.
Jeff had caught a red cod 
and was jealously watching the man next door who was reeling fish in. Mackerals apparently the trick! While we were away he had seen a couple of girls having a swim; something you can't do very often there.

We headed off to the Lake Ferry pub for beers, lattes, chips and tomato sauce. 
There were bikers and day tourists sitting in the restaurant and outside in the sunshine.

Dropped in to Gran and Basil who were out so we left the fish in their fridge for them and headed home with two tired dogs in the back; all happy and content after a day "out of the box".
