Saturday 25th July 2015
Tiger Air arrived 10 mins ahead of time at
Proserpine at 10.45 am. It was a good flight despite having to get on the
airport shuttle bus in Bayview at 5.45 am.
What a contrast when we got to the marina !
The temperature was mid 20’s, reasonably humid and bright skies. Although the
last few days in Sydney were more like a normal Sydney Winter day, the first
few days we were there were freezing.
We arrived at the marina at just after
noon, and Mica was just as we left her, with exception of a fair contribution
from the bird life on the decks and canvas.
As soon as we got our gear on board, we
headed off to the Saturday market, which has the best fresh vegetables, but
shuts down at 1 pm. We made it by only a few minutes, and some items had been
sold out, but we did get most of what we wanted. On the way, we ran into Bill
and Linda Castles who were on their way back from the market and are currently anchored
out in Pioneer Bay, planning to return to the marina on Monday.
Smithy is nowhere to be seen, but appeared
back in his berth late Saturday afternoon, having been out from a few days with
some old friends on board.
We went into town for dinner at a Thai
restaurant, a bit on the expensive side, but serves were generous and the food
was good.
The weather forecast for the coming week is
not good, 30 knot winds from Tuesday through till the end of the week. We plan
to go out tomorrow and probably come back in on Monday afternoon, as the wind is
forecast to come in in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
