Wind SE 15 – 20 knts  Sunny

We have decided to stay here another day as its a lovely anchorage and John wants to watch the start of the Ashes and the State of Origin football with good reception. We are not sure  what reception would be like elsewhere.

The morning was spent baking brownies and doing the usual chores which always take longer on a boat.

John and I took the dinghy ashore to Newry Island and walked the 2 kms  for a picnic lunch at Sunset Beach.

We sat on the rocks overlooking the narrow channel to Rabbit Is, the largest of the Newries, enjoying our simple lunch with brownies for dessert.

After strolling back through the rainforest to the dinghy, John dropped Morgan and I off on  Outer Newry Island to walk across the saddle. The short 5 minute walk was uninteresting ,hardly worth getting out of the dinghy for.

We were invited to a pasta bake dinner on Moor R & R  and to watch the sports. Lovely dinner and for John the excitement of the cricket  and football .

 

Need I say us girls sat in the cokpit and nattered while the boys watched QLD thump NSW in the footy and the Poms gets a good start in the first ashes test.
