SeawindiIn Cid Harbour.
Woke up just as it was getting light. All quiet except for the Kookaburras and Cockatoos announcing their presence on the island. The sun was shining and the water was absolutely flat. Beautiful!
The children have really taken to the Pirate theme; the adults were raided several times during breakfast by a fearsome foursome.

After breakfast we took the Tender back to Sawmill Beach and followed the trail up to the Lookout on Whitsunday Peak (437 metres). The track was quite steep but from the top the views across to the other islands were fabulous, and we could just glimpse the white sands of Whitehaven Beach on the east side of Whitsunday Island.

The round-trip took just under three hours, we were tired and hot by the time we got back to the boat so we had a swim.

Ollie, never one to be outdone by his sister.
After lunch we left Cid Harbour and headed for Nara Inlet, our next stopover. The sea was still flat and the breeze was light so we motored all the way. Pirate practice was well underway and going well until Ollie lost his sword overboard. I jumped in the Tender and tried to find it but it was gone… to the great Pirate Graveyard.
Arrived at Nara Inlet by late afternoon. Tried a little fishing but without success, the fish don’t seem to like chicken.
After dinner we sat on deck and did some star gazing, there was no Moon so the view was fantastic.
