Recently we decided to go for a sail and stay in Cairns Harbour for a week or so.
We sailed to Fitzroy Ils , stayed a night there and sailed on to Cairns the following day. Great sailing with the wind and swell , giving us some fast average speeds.
What else is there to do in the city , ( I call Cairns the city) other than try out some fine dining .
We often walked the boardwalk of the Pier and checked out the menu , more importantaly , the specials. Most having quite reasonable lunch time specials.
We tried out a few , but couldnt quite get past the happy hour drinks at Bela Vista , where you can get a $5 pizza .
We had a few visitors , being Jon and Unis for drinks , Marty and Robyn came in and we had a take away Indian meal on the boat , nice, and lets not forget HOADY, who instantly found the Court House Hotel had $4 Coronas , all day. Dont think he thoroughly enjoyed the next days sail back home to Deeral with me. Coronas and AFL, appears to be a potent mixture .
Miro always comes through and helped us by looking after Bertie when required and also allowing me to leave my truck at his place. Thanks mate.
Bertie did require a walk every morning and afternoon for , well you probably know. Cant believe I actually carried around little black plastic bags.
Bernard and Annie are successfully now running Bernies Jaz Bar and were able to give us a long term parking key for the pier, not to mention many happy hour drinks there as well . Bertie even enjoyed the attention at the Jaz bar. Thanks Guys.
Harukas early morning starts allowed myself to fully enjoy my morning coffe ,watching the sun rise . Quite nice. Also our happy hour drinks as the sun went down and the city lights brightened up the harbour where always refreshing. Didnt think to take any pictures.
We both agreed we would do this again.
Cheers Darren
