Thursday we decided to head up to Macona Inlet as it was supposed to come up a bit over night. Just before we left Cid Harbour the gentleman from “Sea Eagle” a power cat came over in his dinghy and gave us some fish as he had more than he could use. It was fresh and we ate it for dinner on Thursday night with Paul and Marg (by the way, Marg does not like fish!). It was delicious. On Friday morning Paul and Marg headed off to Abel Point for a few days and at the last minute we decided to follow them to Abel Point to allow us to stock up for the arrival of Lisa, Mark and Sophie. We were planning to anchor off Cannonvale but it was forecast to blow 20 knots from the NE and it would have been awful! Friday was a very busy day for Phlat Chat’s crew – we fell into bed after doing all our jobs and a nice meal with Paul and Marg at the Yacht Club. Saturday, after we went to the famous Airlie Beach Markets, we left Abel Point to sail to Hamilton to dock there and await the arrival of the kids. We were later than we thought and only just got there as the plane landed. We have had a great time with the Lisa, Mark and Sophie. Chris insists on carrying Sophie everywhere, it a wonder she can walk as Nanni does all the walking for her. Sunday we went to the beach at Hamilton and Sophie had a great time playing in the sand. Tomorrow, Monday we plan to sail to Whitehaven to give the kids a taste of life away from the marina. Lisa is not a great sea farer so it will be interesting. On Tuesday we will drop the kids back to Hamilton where they will spend a few days relaxing.
