Saturday 17 July. We are now at Middle Percy Island in a rolly anchorage but a great place. The famous A frame still has our hat from last year. There is stuff here going back 40 years! But I get ahead of myself. We stopped yesterday at Hexham Island. It was a very pretty spot although the beach was at best 200 m long so we had to walk it a few times to feel like we were exercising. We managed to amuse ourselves there for a while. Jim from Gattina sailed in also so we had dinner with Jim on Phlat Chat. Jim is also a CCC member so it was good to catch up. He is solo sailing back to Moreton Bay, against the prevailing wind! We arrived at Percy at about 1115 after a 0600 wake up and underway at 0645. Chris made some sandwiches and we walked up to the Homestead, where the “caretaker” lives. It was a huge walk about 6 kms but some very pretty spots along the way. Old Andy has died but after much fuss his cousin, Kate now has it. We met Kate, an alternative lifestyler with goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks and two big Labradors. It was an interesting session. Tomorrow we plan to sail to Digby Island and then to Mackay.
