Rest Day at Shaw Island

Wednesday 28th June 2017

There are some early departures this morning, but we decide to stay put. The forecast is for blustery easterly winds and this is a great anchorage to sit out anything from the south or east. It is overcast and we get a brief shower, before the replaces the overcast sky.


Anchoring is a bit of a herd activity, everyone anchors where the other boats are. We are out on our own and closer to the shore wondering why others are not here.


The now closed Lindeman Island Resort is just across the water from us

The easterly does come in and makes it more comfortable to spend the day on the boat than go through the exercise of getting the dinghy off and back on the bow in strong winds.

Strega, the CCCA boat anchored nearby, pulled up anchor and left early, and Etre Jeune sat the day out on their boat as we did. I am sure we will catch up with them along the way.

It has been a day of relaxing, reading and in Carole’s case, some baking. We eat verey well!!



I tried my hand at fishing at various times of the day, but only caught 5 small Trumpeter. Nothing appears to bite on pilchards, but the prawns at least get a bite.


Tomorrow we will head to Cid Harbour on the western side of Whitsunday Island, leaving early to ride the tide.


Yet another beautiful sunset
