Chez first trip

21st August 2010-08-21

Chez arrived OK on Thursday afternoon, she had a good flight and I picked her up and we went into the shopping centre to get a few things I had forgotten

We went out to dinner that evening at the yacht club, very quiet.

Next day Chez did her own cleaning and what I thought was a clean and tidy boat, wasn’t!! and even I noticed the difference after Chez’s female touch.

Thursday and Friday were very hot and humid, but today it has come over a bit cloudy, but there is a southeaster blowing which should aid us going north later this morning.

Chez is a bit apprehensive about her first trip, she says she’ll camp here on the pontoon and wait for me to return! I think she will change her mind when she realises that we don’t get the same sort of seas up here as in NSW, at least not this time of year.

Departed Mackay about 11:00 and had a very pleasant trip up here to Newry Island. A bit cooler today with cloud and a southerly wind.

Chez was very apprehensive when we left Mackay harbour and it is a bit rolly around that area, but once we got going and away from shore she suddenly started to enjoy it.

Arrived here at Newry Island mid afternoon and Chez says it is a beautiful anchorage and would like to return here on way back

Goldsmith Island tomorrow
