Airlie Beach



The wind had died out but it was still a little overcast. After breakfast we headed out of Nara Inlet to where Chris had Internet coverage. Our food supply was getting low as we were originally only going to do two nights. We went out on the dinghy and found a small beach to explore. Back on board we set sail for Abel Point Marina across the Whitsunday Passage. It was a great sail - a constant 20-25 knots of breeze and a broad reach and pretty flat seas. Caitlin showed no signs of sea sickness and kept herself busy practising her knots. We were on the lookout for whales but to no avail. Back in the marina we bought some lunch and Rick went to pick up the car with the kids while I gave Chris a hand to do a quick clean of the boat and unload our gear. Rick was pleased with the car which had new coil springs and shocks installed - however Cooper was not happy because he was expecting airbag suspension like Andys! We went back to the caravan park and collected our van and set up. I did some washing, the kids had a play at the park and jumping pillow then we got ready to go out for dinner. We went to the bistro across the road.
