Wednesday 13th July
It started out at the reef. Toni got crook then Jack. Sue was next and now Andrew got the runny nose and blocked sinuses.
Yesterday Sandra joined us as our new crew member, going to sail with us back to Brisbane. We also had a quick visit from Lydia, who was on her way from Sydney to Cairns. It was good to have a full boat for lunch. Everyone was swapping contacts, what to do and where to go.
This morning it was haera ra toToni and Jack as they left us for the second time. They were heading north to Townsville, then to Cairns where they will stop a few days before flying to Indonesia.
Not long after Sue and Sandra headed ashore, but the wind and waves had got up making it interesting. As they set off through the waves Sandra heard some people yelling and looked over to see people on a yacht that was just tying up to a mooring, waving to come to them. They shouted and pointed to something floating in the water not far from their yacht. The guy had dropped his wallet overboard while hooking the mooring. Sue drove the dinghy up to the object and Sandra scooped it out of the water.
It was a wallet. After checking to see how much cash was in the wallet, the girls were off to the shops.
Ah NO!
Sue then maneuvered the dinghy alongside the yacht and Sandra threw the wallet into their dinghy much to the delight of its grateful owner. With their good deed done for the day they headed into town, returning with new footware, some groceries and a part for the boat.
After lunch it was the customary laze around all afternoon.
