The predicted southerly change was a bit of a fizzer but we had a couple of nice days in Pancake Creek. Warren finally found the spot where he could catch some whiting which we enjoyed and I finished my jigsaw that I started at Lizard Island.
It is a mosaic puzzle composed of many small photos. It is amazing how they are constructed but they are quite hard. If you like jigsaws and a challenge then give one a go.
Sunday, 6 November 2011 - Pancake Ck to Lady Musgrave Is
A 0530 start as the wind is in the east which is of course where we want to go. We sailed for a couple of hours but with a moderate swell we decided to start an engine so we could point higher and get to the anchorage with the sun still overhead to see the bommies. We entered the lagoon just after 1400 and found a good spot to anchor over sand. We were immediately greeted by some turtles including 2 amorous ones.
We spent 3 nights here - snorkelling, walking around the island and sundowners with Neil and Debbie from the Seawind 1000XL
Zolibato one evening. The water is an amazing colour and visibility was good given that the wind was 10 - 15 knots every day.
The island is an important nesting site for a range of birds who took little notice of us as we walked the tracks. The light through the trees was beautiful even if the smell was not in places.
We will definitely be back to visit here again.
