Judy has brought fine weather but bugger all wind! We took advantage of the weather to “drive” out to Bait Reef – the closest of the outer reef complex, about 16 NM out from Hayman Island. It is a Marine Park and we were able to pick up a mooring – it was quiet and beautiful. We had a couple of Giant Trevally and a big Maori Wrasse off the back of the boat. Lots of snorkelling with good coral and brightly coloured fish. At low tide the reef is exposed and the lagoon is quiescent, slept like babies. Late that afternoon a couple of whales cruised by and we watched them for about an hour. Next day, Sunday we decided to motor back into the Whitsunday’s and spent the afternoon and night at Butterfly Bay (Maurens Cove actually). Next morning a bit of excitement – the starter battery died and we only just managed to start our engines. So change of plan – into Abel Point Marina for the night and to purchase a new start battery (Excide 70AH sealed lead acid). Rob and I worked on the battery while the girls wandered into Airlie Beach for a shopping expedition. We are now (Tuesday) en route to Hamilton to drop Judy off. It has been great to have her on board and we think she is looking pretty relaxed!
