2012-12-14 Uncool Dave, again! Jurien Bay

Aiysha: Not Uncool Dave again! Shame we only spent one day with him before they went off to Jurien Bay. We had such a relaxing time with Grandma and Grandpa though, and it was really sad to say goodbye to them. Grey Furby was quite upset, and I had to comfort everyone and be strong.


Clara: Uncool Dave is so funny! It was so sad to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa, and Mummy and I were very upset.

C: It was such a lovely holiday, and can't wait for the next one!

S: What a trip to Jurien Bay! We managed to do so much, and we came back absolutely exhausted! The main purpose was windsurfing, and we started behind the quay where the wind was softer, but the waves were difficult. However, once we saw Nick and Jason sail on the peninsula, we decided to move there, which was a great move. On some days the wind was crazy, the waves were big, and we really struggled, but it was well worth it.

Nick, Jason came up for one night, and Casey came to visit on the Sunday, so we mooched around, had a relaxing lunch, the sailing in the afternoon. They were sailing between the islands off the peninsula, which looked amazing - will be a while until we do that! Went out in the evening to the pub, and Jason had a small chicken parmigiana which he reminded us of throughout the evening. Had some great chats over dinner and in the evening, then decided to go star-gazing in the bush, so we drove out north, and stopped to look at the most amazing sky. Great that they all came up.

The next day the wind dropped, so we set some nets down around the quay, and Jason and Nick tried fishing, but no luck at all.

We set out crabbing nets down several times over the next few days - off the piers in the marina, off the jetty. Dave kept getting his net stuck, was quite amazing. He came up with any excuse not to dive in and free the nets, so I had to go in off the jetty.

The lock and Ryan - need I say more? Great to have bought him lunch!

Went to the Pinnacles one evening, which was amazing - took loads of photos, but probably not the greatest comp to date.

Evening activities for me and Dave: Dead Space 2, The Audition, Momento, The Prestige. Dave was alittle freaked out by pretty much all of these - what a wuss!

Stopped off at the gravity centre which was really funny, and also learned about dunking crabs in cold water.
