Tuesday we sailed up through the Gloucester Passage and anchored off Eco resort. We were joined by 130 other boats for the Shag Islet Cruising Yacht Club "Vice Commodore" Rendezvous 2012.

Ken and Rhonda had a full program of events including ladies tennis, welcome drinks, Shag Islet Party, Parrot Head party at Monte's Resort and Pirate party at Dingo Beach. We caught up with old friends and made many new ones. There was a wedding on the beach and over $30,000 was raised for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and $2500 for Whitsunday VMR.

About 400 people had a great time in an event that has traditional clubs wondering the secret of its success. Good fun, good value, member driven..........SICYC has over 1700 Vice Commodores (there are no Commodores or ordinary members) spread across the world.

I love the beaches around Bowen...they are special. Often I'd rent a little cabin at Rose Bay, Bowen...and I'd sit out on the verandah with a glass of red at hand, looking across the turquoise-coloured water (and the water always seemed to be that colour) to Gloucester Island. I managed, briefly, a resort at Horseshoe Bay, once, too. And thankfully those beaches are still pretty natural and not ruined by over-zealous tourism.
