CAPE TO CAPE WALK Day 2

A day to take life slowly! Redgate Beach to Conto Campgrounds, 11km It's a day to recover and take life slowly. We fish at the Augusta jetty, catch three undersized fish which we throw back into the water. Then, we eat pies in this most southerly town. One of the staff asks how we are. She is holding two jobs and had served us at the fish and chips shop. We park one car at Conto, the other at Redgate and our 6-km walk starts from Redgate Beach. The sea is not as rough as yesterday, surfers are having fun, the beach is beautiful. The coastal scenery is beautiful. Surfers enjoy riding the tall waves. Tonight, we camp at Conto. I was hoping to test the hiking tent I bought 11 years ago for my Fjallraven Classic Sweden, but the storm forecast for the morning does not materialise. So far, It's been a walk that makes one count one's blessings. How lucky to have these facilities made available to us! This morning, Marty receives a call from the owner of the set of car keys we found near Skippy Rocks on Day 1. I had drawn on the sand we found the key and we were heading to Hamelin Bay Holiday Park. I inscribed Marty's nine-digit cellphone number as he was the only one among us to subscribe to a Telstra line. What's the chance that you can recover something you drop while hiking on the Cape to Cape Track?
