Our first morning camped along the Peron Peninsula began early, packing away our little home and preparing the kayak for another day on the water.
An Unfortunate Encounter
At our first stop, Leanne accidentally stepped on something soft in the shallows, which responded by releasing a cloud of purple ink.
Neither of us knew what it was at the time, but the unfortunate victim turned out to be a sea hare.
Big Lagoon
Continuing along the coast brought us back to the mouth of Big Lagoon. We’d explored the lagoon during our 2022 expedition, so this time we stopped to wander through the mangroves around its entrance before continuing along the peninsula.
A favourable breeze gave us the chance to put up the sail, carrying us across the mouth of Big Lagoon and several kilometres further up the coast.
We sailed directly over two enormous stingrays, but weren’t quick enough to get photos.
Wildlife Everywhere
When it was time for a rest, we cruised back to shore and found ourselves once again surrounded by shovelnose rays and sharks.
I even found some more stingrays to photograph.
The Journey Continues
After plenty of time with the wildlife, we climbed back into the kayak and continued along the coast until we found a quiet beach to call home for the night.
