Today is really all about getting ready to leave mica here for a few weeks and flying back to Sydney. Te focus is on cleaning up the boat and getting everything ready to leave her for a few weeks.
We wandered into to town to have lunch at the the Whitsunday Sailing Club ( well worth a visit), did some basic shopping realising that we will do a serious shop when we get back.
Abell Point Marina have announced today the launch of their new Ocean Club facility on the South marina. A number a Hanse owners decided to test it out tonight for a BBQ dinner. Mark and Janet from Koonya, John and Debra from Jo-De 7, Phil and Wendy from Kite Runner and ourselves were all there and had the place to ourselves.
It is a great facility, but apparently they intend charging a membership fee for people to use it. It is hard to see it getting off the ground on that basis, as none of us present would be prepared to pay to use facilities that largely should be provided for free as the amenities at that end of the marina are sadly lacking.
We fly back to Sydney tomorrow returning on 5th August when the blog will recommence.
