Tuesday 24th August.
\nLate Sunday afternoon we dropped Vito and Freya off at Airlie Beach. It was too late for us to do any shopping or laundry. Yesterday was a bit of a rush. Sue went to do the laundry while Lydia took the dinghy around a couple of bays then went ashore to the nearest petrol station to fill the tank with outboard motor fuel. Andrew was left onboard Imagine to fix the deck wash pump as the pipe had burst.
\nAndrew was able to do a temporary repair (it will last till we get back to Brisbane). Lydia retured with the full tank of fuel, then headed ashore to pick up the laundry from Sue. With the laundry safely onboard Andrew and Lydia headed back ashore to help Sue with the groceries.
\nWith barely enough time to put the laundry and groceries away when Lydia headed back ashore to pick up two of her friends that were joining us for a week.
\nAlison and Vincent were only onboard a few minutes when we hauled anchor and set sail for Thomas Island. We started with 12knots of wind and after 2 hours it was down to 9. We need 10 knots to move the 27 tonne of Imagine. The rest of the trip was completed under motor as the wind slowly dropped to 3 knots. We arrived about 9pm to find another boat was in OUR BAY (how rude).
\nAfter a calm night we awoke to a beautiful day and no wind. As we know there is going to be high winds tomorrow, Lydia suggested we take advantage of the calm conditions and go snorkeling around the southern bay. That’s where we spent the day returning to our bay on the north side in time for sundowners.
