By the beach, the boys got ready for their fishing workshop.
Observing little crabs
It started to pour but the kids continued with their crabbing while the men contemplated their fishing nets. they carried on with their plans to lay the nets in the rain.
DH commented that it was remarkable to see how grown men were transformed into boys again the moment the waves hit their bodies as they carried the nets out into the sea.
So if you need to be rejuvenated, go fishing!

Luckily the rain stopped within an hour.
The campers who had been waiting patiently in their cars, got to work immediately.
First, the ground sheets - helps in keeping the base of the tent clean and any ground moisture from seeping in from the bottom.
Tents in a row.
Words of advice from the campers:
- 4-men tents are too small. 6-men sleeps 4 and a bit of luggage. 8-men is ideal for 2 camp beds and a double air mattress.
- place paper pulp egg cartons at the entrance to clean sandy feet
- get tents with 2 doors for better ventilation
Preparing the ditch for the barbecue
items required to get the fire going - matches, charcoal, twigs, bits of newspaper or firestarter.
Place twigs at the base of the pit, topped with the firestarter, arrange charcoal tippee-like.
Light the firestarter
Fanning the flames
DH throwing in more firestarters.
More fanning
If fanning doesn't work, blowing helps
More blowing
