OMG! It's so friggin' awesome up here!
We're staying in a place called Seisia(say-sha) which is about a 20min drive south of the northern most tip of QLD on the west coast(Darwin side), with Siv's dad and step mum.
It's a town of maybe 100 people, mostly Torres strait Islanders, and they're the nicest most laid back people you'd ever meet.
It's pretty hectic up here; wake up about 8am, walk a few hundred metres to the jetty, fish for a few hours. Go home and watch tv and chillax as it warms up. About 2pm head down to the jetty for some more fishing, stay a few hours then head home for a nap. Leave about 6pm to go to the jetty once more for a few hours. I don't know how I'm gonna keep this up for 2 whole weeks I tells ya.
The weather the whole time will never drop below 22c and thats the overnight low!
Some time next week we're off to the tip for 'touristy shit' haha, then the last week we're here we'll be out on the boat fishing for tuna, mackeral, barra's, cuta's and lord knows what else.
Speaking of fishing I caught my first real fish in over 10 years yesterday. a 2ft wolf herring. It's shit eating as it's too bony but still fun to catch.
Can't fucking wait till we move closer!
Anyhoo got some lounging to do before I fish again so I must go. Siv also reminded me that we have soem distilling and bottling to do tonight.
Neil(Siv's dad) makes his own beer, bourbon and vodka. Each night consists of us sitting around drinking piss, getting stoned and talking shit.
Who said in-laws were horrible people!?
Anyhoo Later Daze!
