Gone Cruising

After a very lumpy night at Flinders we left Flinders to arrive at Pearson Island. An absolutly beautiful pristine island with seals, penguins and wallaby's. We are in a protected bay from all directions except for east. Anchoring is sand with weed and provides strong holding in 6metres of water. We are anchored in the eastern bay. Exploring has been fun, the seals are on the beach in front of the boat and constanly call out as they are mainly mums with young ones. when we go in on the dingy they swim about us.

There is a little protected pool that one can play with the seals in total safety as sharks cannot enter into this pool.

There is a lighthouse on top of the hill and it is powered via solar power and has a heliport. As this is a beautiful island we have decided to stay an extra day prior to heading off to Memory Cove. We have been able to talk to Cartref and Mendana on the VHF and they should arrive in Port Lincoln on Sunday
