The fishermen - Umagico and Vrilya Point

The evening before we left Umagico the men decided to hire the camp dinghy and go fishing



First drag the dinghy to the water


Then off


Notice John sat on the bow to keep the stern high enough to miss hitting rocks.
They returned at dusk with one shark and one Spanish Mackerel. They said they lost three sharks and another large unidentified species.

Next on to another fishing spot at Vrilya Point. This meant driving down another 4wd track, the highlight of which was crossing the wood log bridge


The sign on the right says


Nobody, it seems, takes heed of that sign.... so across we go. (the sign was not there on our return journey)





And up the other side


(notice that the women get out to take on the role of photographer)

We have another beautiful campsite up the beach at Vrilya Point.





Of course, with setting up camp goes the gathering of fire wood. This time our vehicle was called into play. Brandt returned with a roof load of wood


which he proceeded to chop and he, John and I stacked it


I have said that when that supply runs out it is time to move on. The fish are biting so there may be another gathering of wood before we leave here. Oops did I say the fish were biting. Well they stopped biting so, on Saturday we left. Unfortunately on the way out John ran out of brakes and had an argument with a tree


Fortunately there happened by a party containing 2 mechanics, an engineer and a physiotherapist. After a couple of hours they had repaired John's vehicle enough for him to make his way out.
We will probably continue back to the caravan on our own as they now have to wait to see the outcome with their vehicle.
