After spending a couple of days lounging around in the water and doing some snorkelling we had to move on again. Making our way back towards Townsville we dropped anchor on the sout west side of Rattlesnake Island on the lee side. In the afternoon we took the dinghy to shore with a few drinks, nibbles and our swimmers. Relaxing in the the crystal clear water with a drink and passing the nibbles around reminded me of the last 2 weeks. It was absolute bliss. |

Several of the last nights have seen a very strong wind blow up from the south. This night was no exception and unfortunately Makulu dragged anchor a little and her rudders made contact with the reef punching a hole in one of the hulls. Fortunately the leak was kept at bay and Makulu made it safely back to the slipway for some repairs. | |
