Cooinda is departing this morning to do some snorkelling on the way around to Horseshoe Bay on the north of the island where they will anchor overnight, before turning south tomorrow to return to the Whitsundays. We will remain on the marina until Michelle and Cody leave and then plan to head north to the Palm Islands. We should catch up with Cooinda again in a few weeks back in the Whitsundays.
We decided to spend the day at Horseshoe Bay also and caught the mid morning bus around.
We were wandering around the beachfront and ran into Jurgen & Jill Chominsky, who were up for a holiday with their family and had rented an apartment on the beachfront. Jurgen is one of the regular Thursday sailing team in Sydney, so the team must be getting a bit thin at the moment.
Not long after, Rod, Lee and the team came ashore, having abandoned any thoughts of snorkelling off the boat on the east coast due to a lack of suitable anchorages. It must have been pretty bad, given some of the anchorages we have had so far.

Cody had a good time running around and playing in the sand. We had a picnic lunch, a beer or two with Jurgen, (Rod also knew Jurgen well from the old CSR days), and we eventually caught the 4pm bus back to Nellie Bay with the Cooinda team returning to their anchorage planning an early morning start tomorrow.

Dinner back on the boat was some spanish mackeral (which we had bought at Mr Mud Crab) and salad. Once again Cody was pretty worn out and didn't take long to fall asleep.
