We stayed a tad longer than planned in Mackay due to strong winds, but eventually escaped north to the
Newry Islands. There’s reputedly good fishing there, but we obviously weren’t looking in the right spots!!
Did lots of exploratory walking on the islands though!

Then it was across to Goldsmith Island - our first time there as well – another beautiful spot! After leaving foot prints on the beaches and trying the fishing spots there, we headed north to Thomas Island for yet more exploring and fishing - had a sociable time was had by all when Greg rounded up the boats in the anchorage for a beach bbq. That is what cruising is all about!
Thomas Is - dinghies galore
The orchids are in flower all over the islands!
Shaw Is was just around the corner, so we had a leisurely sail across to Burning Point. Here we parted company with our travelling buddies on Xhale for a week or so as they headed to Shute Harbour and we went to Cid for a few days.
