25th June Jonah Bay to Gloucester Passage (Shag Islet) 7nm

Had a bit of an uncomfortable early morning on the change of tide which let a very small NE swell into the bay. While small we were sideways and the roll continued from 3am until dawn.  There was no wind. After breakfast we raised the anchor and headed for Gloucester Passage where the Cape Gloucester Eco Resort and Monte's Reef Resort are situated.
Anchored off the Eco Resort which is currently closed and went to Monte's for sundowners which was very pleasant with our co travellers Tom Boy. David and Nikki and children Jessica and Rex.
There was a piano in the bar and Rex is a very musically talented boy who played for us all as the sun set. It was much better than the music that was being played over the speaker system in the bar.
Another glorious sunset over Shag Islet.

The Shag Islet Cruising Yacht Club gained its name from this famous Island -Shag Islet.
SICYC now boasts the biggest membership of any yacht club in Australia. They have an annual get together each year at this destination where 300 yachts and over 750 people congregate for festivities and raising funds for prostrate cancer. Sadly we wont be here for it as we will be further north at the end of August when it is held.
