In the morning, we rowed the rubber dinghy to shore and had a walk . The texture of the beach is pretty solid, like walking on a flat ground. There are many pine looking trees here also on the nearby islands. Although it is almost tropic here, it still feels cool, and it is even quite cold at night, which may be suitable for coniferous forest to growth. Later I know there are some pins growing in tropics. In this peaceful island, lots of butterflies fluttered in the bushes, birds chirping, but because it is part of the Great Barrier Reef military exercise area, it is not designated as a national park for tourism development, so apart from a few boats, there are no other visitors. It is quite a paradise.

In the afternoon, we rowed the dinghy to fish near the rocks around. Against the tide, J paddled non-stop. After rowing near the reef for a while, a little fish was finally hooked on J’s trolling line, I held the fishing rod all the way and catch nothing, but I had a panoramic view of the beauty islands.

For dinner, I cooked the little fish with Thai green curry and coconut milk, the final outcome didn’t look green at all but It tasted good. In the end, J not only scraped the sauce out of his bowl, but also took my bowl and scraped clean.
