June 30 (Day 11)
I’m writing from the cabin of a small yacht anchored in a bay near South Mole Island in the Whitsundays. It’s been a great day! We began by packing up our caravan (as usual) and we headed back to Arlie Beach. We went to the markets to get ice cream before we set off to Shute Harbour. We arrived at midday and began unloading all the stuff from our caravan onto our boat – Out Of The Blue. It is a little bigger than our caravan and it is very comfortable and cosy, with lots of facilities. We’re having fried rice for dinner and pudding for dessert, so I’m starving. We spent the afternoons sailing to our first stop and leaping off the boat into warm, tropical waters. We also took the dingy that we’ve been towing out to the jetty to the resort on the island and went on the beach there. This has been one of the best days so far.
