Today we are having a land day.

| Rose the Chess Queen |
Our last one was great.

Hamilton Island resorts are very welcoming – we spent many
hours at the big one on Catseye Beach, swimming in the fabulous pool, using the
game facilities.
Nobody came up to ask if we belonged…
Yesterday we left early and headed for Cateran Bay on
Border Island. It was a beautiful place
for snorkelling, with plentiful fish, beautiful coral. Not so much now…there are a few patches of
coral, and a few surviving fish, but it will probably take many years to
recover from the fury of Debbie.

| Whitehaven Beach |
We cruised by Whitehaven Beach but didn’t drop
anchor. (Dropping anchor is a slightly fraught
activity at the moment…)

| Zoe well enough to work on her journal |
By this stage our five seasick passengers were starting
to revive as the water got calmer…
 |
| Thomases recovering |
Along Shoalhaven Bay we got a mooring so all was well.

This stop was a great success. All of the Thomases saw at least one turtle,
a great big one, very obligingly feeding on the coral and ignoring them all completely.
They swam and paddled the kayaks and generally
frolicked until all of the seasickness had left their systems.

| Katy and Eva |
Once again we got home late, in the dark. Fortunately I had enough ingredients on board
to be able to make a pot of carbonara, otherwise I think the emotional
temperature would have dropped.
