It's wonderful to be beside the sea and on a boat on the bay! It's even better when it's a beautiful day and there's a lot to see. Today we left the pier at Portsea, travelled along the shore past the old Quarantine Station and across the entrance to Port Phillip to Queenscliffe. n the way we passed one of the two car ferries travelling between Q'cliffe and Sorrento. We also visited a nesting ground for albatross called the Pope's Eye and another seal colony where several boatloads of people were trying to swim with these massive and stinky creatures. After quick ride down the bay to look at several sailing clubs ( Sorrento and Blairgowrie) we returned to Portsea for a cuppa and a harvest of the massive fig tree in our friends' back garden. tonight after a feed of steak and wonderful salads we have started the process of making fig paste, with Graeme improvising with a set of scales made from a shelf and a knife steel! What fun to get together in the kitchen on vacation!
We'll make the jam tomorrow before going fishing. I just love summer by the beach!
