The team woke refreshed after a early night at the aptly named Beercan Bay. Masaaki motivated the troupes with some stunning crayfish muffins for breakfast. This beautiful sheltered harbour is bounded by very steep lush green peaks and the white sand beach is cut by the rich red tannin stained water flowing out of a wide creek. The beach was the cleanest we had seen in years and we retrieved a measly 706 items, the majority of which was beer cans and small pieces of can. Many thanks to the bushwalkers who had gathered most of this rubbish and bagged it up next to the campsite.
The highlight of the trip for many other than last nights spectacular aurora was the discovery of a perfect paper Nautilus Shell by the youngest member of the team Gabby. This is the sort of Marine Debris we love to find.
We headed towards home via a scenic coastal route past the white sea cliffs of Cox's Bluff, Prion Beach, Precipitous Bluff and the towering dolerite cliffs of South Cape. The Nena headed for Dover to get their team back in time for work on Monday, while the other three boats met up on Sunset at the Pigsties at Recherche Bay for a last night shindig.
