Watched one more episode of The Americans, last night. Got to bed just after 9 pm. It was totally calm and peaceful. We both slept well. Up around 6. Had breakfast. Mark checked the weather, both engines and the water tank for leaks. All was well. Hauled anchor at 9:30 am. Had the advantage of the current and I added the jib sail as well. We arrived off South Starbroke Island by 10:30. Anchored in-between Florence & Mr. Micawber. Helped Mark launch the dinghy. Then headed to shore for a beach walk. I didn't know we were out for a jungle walk. Mark said he could have used a machete. We improvised with some walking sticks, especially to ward off the insect world, especially the spider webs. It looked like a path in the middle, but it kept going the length of the island and we were attempting to cross the island to the ocean side beach. We could hear the waves crashing into the opposite shore, so that is when we went cross country. We saw one wallaby. He was in a big hurry to get away from us and we didn't have time to take a picture before he was jumping out of sight. There were several steep, sandy hills to climb, but we eventually got to the other side. Thank goodness for the walking stick. The ocean waves were beautiful shades of green water splashing to shore. The beach was beautiful and pristine in both directions. Walked over a ton of sea shells as well as tiny rocks, of which I picked up a few. Took lots of pictures and posted them on Facebook when we got back to the boat. It ended up being a very long walk, so good exercise. It was hot out. I took a sweater, but didn't need it once we started walking. We could see the fires over South Moreton Island. Many helicopters and planes had a hand in dousing the fires today. Thankfully, we didn't smell any smoke at this anchorage. We stopped to say hi to Dave & Patsy. We were planning on inviting both boats for happy hour. They had already invited Florence, so they extended the invitation to us. So sweet! Once back onboard, we took a nice hot shower. The sun shower wasn't quite in the sun, but we now have hot water. The breeze was cool, but we were still both sweating from our walk. It was well after lunch, but we decided to have a short nap. Got up and had lunch. Then we started watching the movie, Thor. Will continue after we finish this blog. Packed up some things to take and headed over for happy hour! Matt & Amy joined us and with the full tide, they arrived, paddling their dinghy, at the same time we motored over! Had a lovely visit. So many sailing stories were shared. And lots more good advice for these Australian waters. We finally got some much needed rain! Hope that the fires are done! Thanks Dave & Patsy for your hospitality! It was almost 8 pm when we headed back to Charabia. Had a snack when we got back. Thanks so much for the emails, messages and comments. Our plan is to wait for some favorable weather although we may head to another anchorage along the way to the Gold Coast.
