Unfortunately though, the motor on Poppa's boat has given up after many many many years of exceptional service.
All was not lost though as a friendly neighbour took us out scalloping.
After a delayed start (due to engine steering probs on the neighbours boat) we were off to get our quota of fresh super Nelson scallops (50 per person). After 4 drags we had our quota.
Yummy scallops for dinner. Sam marinated them in brandy, vodka and a few herbs and spices and I cooked them on skewers on the bbq. Some battered fish from a previous trip and we had a delicious dinner.
Today the kids tried their hand at fishing off the wharf with Nana and Poppa. They had a lot of fun, but didn't catch anything.
Tomorrow they head out in the boat fishing. Fingers crossed they catch some fish.
