A call from mum reminded me I had not blogged for a few days, scratchy internet connection and an attack of the lazys probably explains it a bit.
Bauer Bay on South Molle Island, instead of spending just 1 night there we spent 2. Friends we had made when buying Avalon 4 years ago in Tin Can Bay had been living on their cat and working in Shute Harbour for some time. The plan was to join them there and catch up, a call from them changed that and they escaped for a night and joined us here instead.
A bbq dinner on their cat was a wonderful way to catch up. Their a great couple who like many have stories to tell, and adventures yet to come. For now the lifestyle that works for them is afloat, 1 were still coming to terms with.
As they left Tuesday a radio call alerted us to a couple of whales nearby, so with usual rush I was snapping away and caught a couple of mediocre images. I can only improve!!!!!!
So after a few tidying up duties we set off for Cid Harbour, 90 minutes away. A very large passage with bays between 2 islands. Once again stunning sights and water so blue and clear.
Being fairly open it was a bit rolly during the night, but still worth it I think as it is a beautiful place. Best of all dinner that night was our first pan size fish, caught earlier back in Bauer Bay. A red coloured perch according to the book we have on fish. Tasty anyway.
So another day and we had decided to push further south, past Hamilton Island down to Lindemann Island.
The mega dollar marina and resort complex, nice to see and all that but .....
Mind you even some yachties prefer a mooring!!!!!!
Scenery along the way was its usual picture postcard perfect.
Approaching Pentacost Island
The bay we had chosen to anchor in at Lindemann Island was being blown out by the norwester, so we motored around the other side of the island and anchored in Plantation Bay. Still windy, but as it was blowing over the island it isnt too rough.
A few other yachts and cruisers had decided it was a good anchorage as well.
Friday we are probably heading down to the Smith group of islands, ill add some more when were there.
