Deb and Wayne left about 9.30 am to catch the tide heading north to Port Clinton. As John and I were only travelling a short distance today we left later at 11.30. The boisterous wind was blowing 15knts from the SE allowing us to cruise along at a nice 7.5 knts arriving in Greys Bay about 1:30. The lure was out but nothing grabbed our line unfortunately.

Arriving at Greys Bay we dropped anchor in 3 mts water. We were probably 300 metres off the boat ramp and could have anchored in closer as it didnt really shelve much, next time we shall give it a try.

We called friends from Khancoban , Nick Barlee and Mandy who have an apartment at Whitsunday Sands Resort Horsehoe Bay. They looked to have a great view of the bay as we could see Nick standing on his verandah looking through his binoculars at us.

The beach below the Coral Sea resort was perfect for us to pull our dinghy up and keep an eye on it. Happy hour stretched on and was very enjoyable on Mandy and Nicks verandah watching the sun go down and discussing lifes adventures. I missed getting a photo of our reunion with Nick and Mandy.

Mandy and Nick had family arriving so we took ourselves downstairs to enjoy some extremely tasty chinese fare at the restaurant below.

The Cove is a no dog place however we were able to tie Morgan up in sight of us on the boundary at the end of the grass.
