On August 20th, we went for a walk along the beach in the morning. While we were on the beach, a whale watching tour boat made a pit stop at the docks that we were tied to. Andrew, the operator, was thoroughly supportive of our boat banner. When we told him that we made flags, he immediately piped up that he wanted one. He had us explain the story around the banners and flags to his tour. His passengers all gave the thumbs up. Andrew planned to spread the word to all the whale watching tour operators.
Our trek into Port Neville got a bit rough, but we managed. Finding a place to drop anchor was challenging, as the area had a very weedy bottom. Eventually, Marty found a great spot to drop anchor. Marty always does a circle around an area to get a feel of the depth. He found a hole. He knew that dropping the anchor into a hole would allow the anchor to get a solid hook on bottom. It sure did, as the next morning, it was not easy pulling up the anchor. (Engine power was required to pull the anchor loose.)
