Magnetic Island to Hinchinbrook




Pauline came to spend a couple of days with us on Magnetic before we headed north, so we hired 

an inconspicuous car
On the Forts walk, so close to the mother Koala
and her sleeping baby
With Jeremy in his new favourite t-shirt,
thanks Shaun


Hinchinbrook was to be our northern most port. We stopped at Orpheus Island on the way.


Moored at Orpheus

The last pictograph warns of crocodiles.
We trod very carefully.

At the old shepherds hut

One of the entrance leads into the Hinchinbrook Passage

Lining up the port channel markers to keep us in the deep water

The changing colours as we made our way through the Hinchinbrook Passage...










We did an overnight sail from Hinchinbrook to Nara Inlet on Hook Island, had some good sailing and good fishing too.


Filleting a Spanish Mackerel
Jeremy caught a Bluefin Tuna,
made a very good sushi
Sailing with the main, genoa and jib

Hard to capture it but the sea was such a deep blue
 it was almost violet

Looking very relaxed
despite an imminent flight to Sydney
and a brief return to work
