Crocodile story included
I think I know where they got the idea
for those flying seeds of the soul tree in the movie Avatar. Remember
the white fluffy looking things that landed on the main guys arms and
all?
They are called Feather Starfish and we
get them in our nets basically every night. I found two of them alive
after being 10 hours inside the net while it was on the reel. Hardy
little things. Usually they are just chopped up to pieces when we
shoot the net out. I wonder how they look like when you are diving
amongst them?
Three weeks left of the fishing season.
We are not catching as much fish as we did before, but still a fair
bit.
I had a dream the other night where I
said to my friend that I need to rest. Maybe this sleeping in 2-5
hours at a time is starting to get to me...
Luckily the nurses in Weipa hospital
provided me with a splint to put on my hand when resting and some
Codeine laced Paracetamol, so that's not bothering me anymore.
On to the crocodile story...
About a week ago we had an afternoon at
a nameless beach. As I was minding my time collecting seashells for
necklaces and finding a suitable lump of bauxite to send to a certain
rock collector, when I came across something unmistakable. Crocodile
tracks. And about 5 minutes later there it was. Right in the water
next to the beach: my first salt water crocodile! It was about my
size and I was curious to take a closer look. Too bad it was a little
shy and I only got to about 10 meters from it before it turned around
and started swimming away.
