A more relaxing day ahead of us with a few hours motoring to Abel Point Marina at Airlie Beach where we plan to spend the next 3 nights, replenish our supplies and get a few minor jobs done. We have booked in for an engine service, have the bridle block on the backstay replaced and get some new battens for the mainsail (if possible in the timeframe).
We were in no hurry so pulled up anchor at 10 am and decided to motor along the coast on the inside of Grassy Island, and past the various bays leading up to Grimston Point and then around into Pioneer Bay to Airlie.
Grassy Island
I was a calm sunny day so a very pleasant trip.
We arrived at the marina at around 1 pm and with formalities of checking in out of the way, we wandered into town for lunch. By now it was getting very warm and very high humidity. We thought we were back in Asia.
After lunch we returned to the marina and it was off to the laundry.
We went back into town for dinner and had a terrific seafood meal at a restaurant called Fish D'vine.
