Ep 290 | I Fought a Crocodile and Won! Cape Bougainville, Kimberley, Sailing Nutshell
We are quietly minding our own business when Magnus notices that Nutshell is moving… A very large crocodile has Peanut’s painter in its jaws and is dragging us across the anchorage! It’s mayhem on Nutshell for a while whilst Magnus tries to prevent the crocodile from biting through Peanut’s painter and thus losing Peanut! We’ve never been so close to a crocodile before!
That aside, we leave Freshwater Bay and make our way north to Cape Bougainville. It’s a slow sailing day with little wind and loads of tacks! We don’t quite make it around the Cape and anchor at Hat Point for the night.
We catch plenty of sharks!
We leave Hat Point and continue our journey. We finally end up at Parry Harbour after much too-ing and fro-ing. Then it’s south bound to the Osborne Islands.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time…
Wendy and Magnus
