Our plans to head for Nara Inlet have been scuppered due to rain. Rather sit here in the rain than somewhere else. So life on board will be reading in a dampish environment tho our cockpit gives us good preotection from the weather and fresh air at the same time - something not many yachts have.

Last night we went with Chris and Gilli to the Whitsunday Sailing Club to take advantage of the Wed evening roast where you pile your plate as high as possible and generally eat for a week. While we thought we had loaded our plates as high as possible, on looking around we saw we had been beaten handsomely by many others! Luckily the photo I took did not come out! Always dangerous offering a yachtie a bargain. True to cruising lifestyle we were all yawning by 20.00 and in bed by 21.00! Some life. There is always something to do and the days seem to fly by, leaving you ready for bed embarrisingly early. At least we save power by going to bed early!
