We left Shaw Island and made our way to Cid Harbour. The sun was shining, the water was once again crystal clear and the most beautiful colour. We sailed between Dent and Hamilton Island. There seemed to be much more activity on the water... jet skis, motor boats, catamarans and lots of yachts. We even saw a Jetstar aircraft land on Hamilton Island. It is really strange to see so much development after coming from such peaceful and isolated islands.
Cid Harbour is a large harbour which is very popular with yachts, catamarans and campers. There are several sandy beaches which have barbecue, camping and toilet facilities. The beaches are very rocky which don't allow for pleasant walks but a family still managed to have a game of cricket. The water was so still that night we could have almost been on a marina. It looked magical with all the millions of stars and the many anchor lights from boats in the harbour.
