Friday 17th June
This morning we made our escape. Setting sail for Blue Pearl bay we sailed past the passenger ship anchored off Airlie. They were shuttling people back and forth in one of the life rafts and some of the local tour boats.
It was a good sail reaching 7.5 knots. We made it to Hayman Island in just over two hours. Toni and Jack maneuvered Imagine onto the mooring as if they had done it many times, no pressure even though they were competing for the mooring with two other boats that put their foots down to try and get their first.
A quick dip and it was lunchtime. Not long after lunch Andrew pointed out the Batfish around the boat. Toni and Jack hand fed snax biscuits.
After a few hours chilling Toni, Jack and Liz ventured back in the water for a snorkel. With the visibility being about 5m they saw an array of fish and coral.
