Wind Still strong – who cares! Not us

Today was a real lazy day. We finished another couple of loads of washing, chatting with other sailors who were stuck in Cairns, some hoping to keep going north, others waiting to go south. The laundry is a real hub for information gathering.

The weather was slightly overcast with some rain nasty squalls annoying us throughout the day. Our bikes were unfolded ready for action once the rain disappeared.

Nyeki and Beach Bum arrived in the marina as they’d had a terrible night out in the inlet with boats swinging in close, anchors dragging and nasty winds.

Some Mulligan Geo work was the order of the day plus thorough reading of the Cairns Post by John.

We gathered at Salt for happy hour ( 5 – 6pm half price drinks) and nibbles with Deb and Wayne and Geoff and settled in for the evening. Morgan was tied up outside in the garden where we could see her as dogs weren’t allowed in the area we were.

We ordered a variety of nibbles including the Barra wings, crispy smoked and fried chicken wings and rosemary salted chat potatoes with lime mayonnaise. Everything was extremely tasty and filling. Anything that was left over went down to the end of the table for Wayne to finish off.
