We’ve been a bit tardy on the old Blog lately sorry. Since we dropped Judy we have been slowly going to places we have not been to yet. We had two gorgeous nights at Turtle Bay and then on to Hill Inlet for a dinghy explore (Well yes, we were given another feed of fish- our fishing has not been very good lately so I think people are taking pity on us and proving us with these meals). We went on to Tongue Bay for a walk which overlooks Hill Inlet and anchored there for the night. We left the next day and had a great snorkel at Cataren Bay on Border Island and anchored in the top end of Nara to see the Aboriginal rock paintings. The weather has been unusually hot and calm a few days of 5 knots and less. While it must have been a real pain for the Hamilton Island Race boats, it was fun for us. Today we had lunch with Paul and Marg from “While Your Down There” anchored off South Mole Island with the weather as quiet as a mouse. Tonight, Saturday we are in a little bay opposite Hamilton so we can drop Rob off early tomorrow as his plane goes at 0920 or so. We are then sailing to Laguna Quays – the plan being to get there Sunday afternoon. It is the start of the next phase or our “Whitsunday Dreaming” (thanks for that Steph). We leave Phlat Chat here as we go home for a while – for Em’s wedding. When we come back Chris has a list of places she wants to see up here before we start the journey south. A bit of a crossroads really. Once at Laguna we have a fair bit of work to do on the boat to get ready to leave.
