Thursday 02 May - True to our travelling form, we left Coral Bay by 7am and headed for Point Samson, some 570 kms further up the coast. All plain sailing, stopped at a roadhouse (the name escapes me) for refreshment. We fuelled up in Karratha and also went to the Karratha Mall to do a bit of food shopping, having taken to making sandwiches for the next day’s trip. Then we sailed on to Point Samson, about 60 kms north of Karratha. Plenty of cows to keep us alert on the way up. No live kangaroos sighted up to this stage of the trip, only road kill of same. Plenty of bird life, including many hawks and a few eagles, endlessly circling and swooping in search of ground-bound prey.
We checked into Samson Beach Chalets, small but cosy, in an airconditioned kind of way. So far, our beds along the journey have been very comfortable, for which we are grateful. Samson Beach Tavern had been recommended by a couple of friends as the place to go for tea (maybe the only place?). So we dined there and what a treat! Blue bone fish for me, snapper for Michael. We retired to our chalet, tired but replete with manna from the ocean.
