Thanks so much.
The atmosphere was palpable, alive. The sky ominous, time was of the essence if we were to make it back to the car dry.

The weather has set in, the sun long since hidden behind the cloak of approaching storms. The fish have decided enough is enough and the fishermen won't be far behind, after just one more photo, of course.

And all this time I thought you were the co-pilot.

Where's the ice & snow?
Looks like the bear is in Africa or the like.

Trying every day, Al.
Still on CI, we escape to Cocos a few times a year, it’s definitely our happy place 😊

Perfect one day, dramatic and ominous the next. We are in the shoulder season now, transitioning from the dry winter months to the wetter summer. The tropics at it’s perfect and dramatic best.

Taste it again to confirm or dispel the conclusion.

One of my very favourite places. I’ll travel and check out as many places as I can, however, I will always end up back here to escape everything.

Home Island is home to most of the Cocos-Malay folk of the #CocosKeelingIslands
We visited to complete a drift snorkel however, the wind was to fierce making visibility low and the sea cranky, next visit This time you will have to be content with tropical island colour and palm trees

The #CocosKeelingIslands are made up of many small islands. West & Home Island being the inhabited, Direction Island uninhabited & incredibly beautiful.
Today, we are on Home Island, incredibly beautiful in it’s own right & the same but different to the other
islands

Good eating sizes, not too big 😊

The fishing has been fun on this adventure to the Cocos Keeling Islands.

Threadies are excellent. Hence the smile on my dial. Right up there with Barranundi. Surprised you didn't try some during your time in Broome.

That's a Threadfin Salmon. One of my very favourite places, could well be my happy place.

Hey Brad
Sorry for the tardy reply, the day after you sent it I took off to the Cocos Keeling Islands, I’m still here, have got 10 days of fishing, free diving and relaxing. The internet is barely useful here, it's refreshing the break from it. The App is incredible, thank you so very much 1/2

🤣😂🤣😂 one day the pleasure will be mine.
Until then rebel be the rebellious young fella she fell for.
You're in Canada which is close enough to channel your inner Grizzy Adams or the very least Yukon gold prospector.
