Nov 7-10
Cheers to Airlie Beach, which totally surpassed our expectations. Thought of as mostly a backpacker's paradise, Lady Luck was on our side with Abel Point Marina giving us free berthage and leading us to Urs Waldmeier of the catamaran Better Than Shares. We dubbed him new member of the week, as he was super excited to help with marketing, took this slightly awkward picture of the crew, took me out on his dinghy to visit anchored boats and grabbed a load of brochures to hand out in the places we're not visiting (and to his friends in Switzerland). Thanks to Magnums hostel bar for leading us to some...unsuspecting interested parties.
A highlight: Protein! Tofu for me, steaks for everyone else. Yum!
