Shag Island
Finally arrived at Shag Island about 8:30 this morning. Lots of boats already here.
We did set off for Shag Island yesterday morning from Airlie beach, but the wind blew up and we sheltered in Double Bay, very quiet and peaceful anchorage.
Left Double Bay at 5:00 this morning in order to make the 12:00 picnic lunch on Shag Island today. I went over to the resort and found out that we can use the showers and the laundry there. First person I ran into was Liz Franklin who hails from Port Macquarie, she left Port about 5 years ago. She was in Sea Rescue for a while and also worked as a deck hand on the Port Venture. Also the barman in the resort is from port, went to Port High, about 3 years behind Nicole.
The afternoon picnic on Shag island went very well, though there was a cool wind blowing and we only stayed for a couple of hours. There were over 150 “Shaggers” there out of a membership of about 600, so it was a good turnout. We were talking to 1 family who had sailed up from Hobart, and there were also members from USA and NZ.
I will add a couple of photos that I took.
I must apologise as I have found there are a couple of blogs that I have written out on computer and forgotten to post them, so they will be out of order.
