22nd Sep Airle Beach to Blue Pearl Bay 18nm


Today we head back to the islands for 6 days before coming back into Airlie for reprovisioning before starting the long journey south. We also get to watch the AFL Grand Final next Saturday.
We departed the pen and went to the fuel dock before heading to Blue Pearl Bay on Hayman Island. We had a peaceful afternoon before being invaded by the backpacker boats and their ridiculously loud music. Not sure where the myriads that are on the yacht sleep in such confinement but they certainly know how to party. We would have moved to another anchorage but they arrived too late and we had been invited to dinner on Nirvana’s Kitchen.
We had a great dinner with Leon and Nirvana and the dinner lived up to the expectations of eating on Nirvana’s Kitchen. We had a fantastic marinated steak that Nirvana prepared and Leon cooked. Another great dinner on the water!!
We arrived back at the yacht with the backpacker parties in full swing. We managed to get to sleep only to be woken with the mooring bouy banging into the hull on the change of tide. I prefer to be on anchor at night but it is very deep to anchor here so much safer on a mooring.
