Saturday 1st Sept 2012 – Sail across to Maggie Island

Saturday 1^st Sept

MrJ and I leave Townsville to sail across to Maggie Island round the S & W side, past Picnic & Nellie Bay.

Picnic Bay

Nellie Bay

We see  the racing yacht coming out of the Nellie Bay boat marina. It is Maggie Island Race week.

Boat anchored behind Orchard Rock

We saw whales, mother and calf,  outside  the E point Horseshoe Bay. A small tinny was out there fishing and go a closer view.

We anchor in Horseshoe Bay in about 5mtrs of water; not too close in as to get the beach swell and then went ashore.

Going ashore

MrJ washes the sand off

A boat is beached and they are cleaning her hulls

 

 

 

We walk beach and see lots of interesting things.........
