Shrimp Country WOW!!!!!

I hope this picture can do this place justice. It is absolutely beautiful here. We have moved to another small bay close to where we were. It's called Prideaux Haven. In the summer months this place is one of the most crowded anchorages in the north west. Today we have the whole place to ourselves. We have caught enough large prawns for a couple of dinners. The sun came out today and it warmed up nice. I heard on last nights news it was raining at home. Today we saw mother nature in action. It was a lesson in team work. While eating lunch we noticed an eagle making a dive for something in the water but when he got to it,it dove under. We guessed it was some type of duck but it could not stay under very long. The eagle kept swooping down but it kept diving under. Soon another eagle joined in and both were diving down at it keeping it under water for longer periods of time. Suddenly one eagle dove in the water,grabbed the duck and held it under water until it drowned. All this time the eagle was treading water.The duck was to heavy to lift off with and the eagles feathers were all wet so he had to swim to shore while holding onto his catch. One less duck,one full eagle. This kind of thing goes on every day.
Well I need to go start the barbecue and cook some prawns. Until next time; Russ,Pat,Maddie
