In The Tropics







Crossed over the Tropic of Capricorn yesterday morning en route facing Island to Hummocky Island. This is a small uninhabited island about 10 miles off of the coast and I thought it would be a good half way point to Rosslyn Harbour.



Hummocky is a horse shoe shaped island with a small lagoon and beach in the "horse shoe". Very sheltered from the southerlies and I had a very comfortable night.



From there it was just a short hop over to Rosslyn Harbour, where I'm in the marina for the night, got my washing done and tomorrow morning I'm getting the courtesy car to go into Yepoon to do some shopping,



This is the biggest marina I've ever seen, must be 300 boats in it, and a large number of them large 50 - 60 foot luxury yachts and motor cruisers. I've never seen so much money tied up in boats in one place before.



There are no shops in the village which is why I'm off to Yepoon in the morning.



A couple of pictures of Hummocky Island ans Rosslyn Harbour.
