So we're just over the halfway mark for our cruising season but the Kimberley's are still managing to 'turn it on' for all of our passengers. The recent cruise 8 which returned to Broome on the 26/6 was one of the trips that stood out in particular for me. It never ceases to amaze me how people from all over Australia, with varied backgrounds can come together with a shared love for this part of the world and form solid friendships by the end of the week. The way everybody was laughing and carrying on, you could have sworn they were school friends.
The recent rains have meant that the Kimberley's are still looking relatively green and those beautiful waterfalls are still pumping. The fishing was also unbelievable with a few first timers hopefully catching the bug after hooking up some nice tuna, mackeral, queenfish and creek species. 'I don't see what's so hard about fishing', they reckon!!
We still had time to get a few oysters and have a sunset drink on a secluded beach.
Thanks to all the passengers who came aboard, you really made my week and I now know that blowing on the top of an empty beer bottle is the universal signal for a top up; thanks Mark!
