Robyn flew to Newcastle to see our new grandchildren and our older ones as well as family and friends. Had a wonderful time visiting with the grandies. New ones are very cute (of course) and the older ones are lots of fun.
Ian stayed in Mackay marina for a week doing some jobs on the boat - nothing major and nothing had gone wrong - just catch up bits and pieces.
Week 2 - Ian sailed out to Scawfell Island - near St Bees and Keswick Islands - about 25 miles from Mackay. Had a rough and rolly night for the first night and then it settled down. He got the rubber ducky out and pottered around the reef. A little too cool for swimming.
Ian met a couple from Western Australia who have been working and sailing around Australia - South Australia, Tasmania and now to the Whitsundays. We will probably bump into them again. Cat and dog on board as well.
Our next door neighbours are in Mackay at the moment, for a funeral, so Robyn was on same flight as their son, Adam on the plane from Newcastle to Brisbane and then onto Mackay. Nice to meet your neighbours at the airport and they are coming out for a cuppa on windChalmer Friday - 15 June.
Hopefully, Adam will sail with us sometime.
