While we wait out the bad weather, we take the opportunity to look around Cid Harbour. We take Peanut out along the banks to explore the beautiful scenery. We find so many waterfalls which are abundant due to the days and days of relentless rain.
We can’t stay here forever, so once a small weather ...
After spending quite a few very rainy days sitting out the weather in Gulnare Inlet we decide to just go for it and take Peanut up the creek in search of a potential cyclone bolt hole. It’s absolutely beautiful with mangroves, Norfolk pines and giant fruit balls!
The rain just doesn’t cease.
We ha...
