July 26th

I am catching up on the blog this weekend -- it has been long overdue!  So these posts will be not a full as the previous posts.

As we started travelling back south we were having difficulty getting any wifi connections in Ocean Falls and Pruth Bay and I fell behind in my journal.

We really enjoyed Ocean Falls and will make it a regular stop when we are up in the Central Coast.

As we were leaving Ocean Falls we were not completely sure where we were going next.  We were now in heading home mode - which is a little depressing but we needed to be back by Aug 10th or so to take our granddaughter  - Phoenix - on a trip we had planned for her.

We planned to spend a few days in Pruth Bay before getting ready to cross Cape Cautions.  It was too long of a trip to go from Ocean Falls to Pruth Bay - so we needed a stop in between.  We'd heard there were prawns in Codville lagoon  But we also heard it was a popular and  busy anchorage.  In the end we decided to go there and give it a try.


Codville Lagoon



It was a very pretty spot and I can see why it is so busy.  Codville Lagoon is on King Island and it is a Provincial Marine Park.

When we arrived Jim took the dingy out and put down the prawn pots.  Codville is well known for prawns.  We've enjoyed our fill of crab! Now on to the prawns.


There is a walk through the forest from the lagoon to Sagar Lake.  We heard it was a beautiful little lake.  So Jim and I and Jenny took the trail --- hard climb through rocks and trees!!  It was a lot more strenuous than we thought it was going to be!






There were ropes along the trail to help with climbing up and down the rocks.


There were lots of up and down and scrambling over rocks but there was an occasional boardwalk as well - thankfully

But worth it in the end to get to the loveliest little lake - Sagar Lake.  Beautiful!  



The beach was the most interesting large grain brown sand.  I brought back a small bag of the sand.


Jenny -- of course had a lie down in the water.






Sagar Lake





Before we left the next morning Jim went out and pulled the pots. 

And we got prawns!!










And they were wonderful!!

Next stop Pruth Bay.
