18th July Airlie Beach

Wind SE 15 – 20 knts

Should be here for a few days until we sort out the problems and get our cool box fixed, the part has not arrived yet.

Quite a strong cool wind early but not as bad as the rest of the country which has severe low temperatures and snow in Qld.

Rode to the markets down near the sailing club which are held every Saturday morning.  They were very busy with a variety of stalls from hand made jewelry, clothes ,vegies food and books. Airlie Beach has a great market as there are no tacky junk stalls and interesting entertainers on the stage. We met several people we had met in  ports along the way as well as Des and Molly.
